Jimmy and His Dad go Turkey Hunting: The Ghost of Hangman's Hollow Pap Ciotola

Our families love of hunting, fishing, and the outdoors brought countless hours of interaction with my boys, my brother, and my friends that created treasured memories. I always wanted to publish one of the many "Jimmy and his Dad" stories I wrote which are based upon real life experiences with my boys. I selected the Ghost of Hangman's Hollow because it was the first one I wrote and always brought a smile to my face. It is a story of an elusive turkey we hunted in a small patch of woods we call Hangman's hollow. In the story, we learn there is more to hunting than harvesting the animal. We learn to enjoy the day, the people we are with, and all mother nature has to offer. Most of all we learn to have fun no matter what the outcome of the hunt is.
