Mike Joyner, Veteran turkey hunter for 32 years. He began deer hunting with a bow, and small game back in 1985. It wasn’t until he heard the massive gobbling of a flock of gobblers disrupted and scattered by incoming deer hunters one very cold morning during late deer season that gave cause to pursue the wiley wild turkey.
The following year- May 1993 was his first season, and he never looked back. Since then, Mike has pursued his favorite game bird in 17 states, achieving two wild turkey grand slams, and a top twenty NWTF scoring gobbler in his home state of NY.
That experience resulted in 9 years of volunteer service to the New York State of the National Wild Turkey Federation as a board member in 2005, is also serving as it’s President from 2000 to 2004.
Joyner is also a member of the New York State Outdoor Writers Association (NYSOWA) Mike currently serves the board of directors as a past president.
Mike publishes his works through Joyner Outdoor Media a publishing company that he founded in 2006. Joyner Outdoor Media provides publishing resources including marketing materials, press releases, and supporting website development.
