JOHN MCDANIEL has been a professor of anthropology at Washington and Lee University for twenty-eight years, having published in all three of anthropology's sub-areas: cultural, physical, and archaeology. He has authored or coauthored more than 100 articles, monographs or contract reports on the topic, and has taught the introductory anthropology course at least twice a year over that span, averaging more than 200 students annually. Washington and Lee's location, in prime wild turkey range, has allowed him to pursue his sport with intensity, hunting at least part of more than 100 days a year. All that time afield allowed him to gather enough material to publish two turkey-hunting books before this one, plus a number of articles. McDaniel has been married to the former Nell Word Reeves for twenty-six years. They have two daughters, Elizabeth and Catherine, both of whom are accomplished fly casters who fish the Henry's Fork of the Snake River in Idaho each summer with their parents. See less
