I knew who the one on the right was…..only because you told me. Lol

Ben was prolly the best turkey hunter ever! Had a long talk with him at the Grand Champion Calling contest back when it happened in Edgefield, SC. He was a great woodsman. Woodsmanship kills more turkeys than any calling ever will. Lost way to young.

Ben, hit a bridge, and burned up in his truck. So i heard, if im not mistaken , he had a daughter, that hit the same bridge and got killed, before he did. If not the same bridge, very close. Thats what i was told, back when it happened. But you guys, may be correct on hit by a drunk driver, He could tell stories, all day long, but could back them up. I think at one time, he weighed over 400 lbs, but got a lot of that weight off.

Noel, did do something, that destroyed, his reputation. Sad deal, at one time, i know he was, known for killing 3 [email protected] whitetails with the bow, He was known for, rattling, In my opinion, he forgot , more about bow hunting, than most, will ever know. But i guess, the pressure of trying to , be well known, and trying to keep doing, what people expected out of him, or greed, or whatever, he did something illegal, and destroyed him.

Remembering Ben Lee, a Genuine Turkey Hunting Icon

Despite his death more than 25 years ago, Ben Rodgers Lee is still revered as the person who brought turkey hunting to the outdoors mainstream.

Found this link about Ben.He had a video, about him deer hunting, where , it played taps, before he shot the deer, cant remember the name of it. I cant even watch videos these days, more , trying to sell something, than anything, I wish i had all those old videos, i had them at one time, but they all burned up in my grandmothers, house. First video i ever saw was , October Whitetails, Barry and Gene Wensel, Watched it with them.Barry gave me one and autographed it. Dont hear much from these guys anymore, they are old, and I know Gene 's wife is not well. Bad health, has caused me to loose everything, i ever had pretty much, but memories, but in the end, thats all any of us have. Thats why i have so much respect, and admiration, for all the people taking the kids, they will forget a lot of things in life, but never their first deer, or hunting with you guys.

As a young black country boy growing up. Got into archery [Noel Feather and Chuck Adam's and Daddy Fred Bear were my idiol]. Dropped Noel after his false hunting antics got him trouble. Built my 1st bow willow tree limbs.. followed Bee Lee o. Turkey hunting and now call turkeys using Natura voice.... won Texas stat calling contest '97. Now I'm Coordinator Texas State Turkey calling contest. Man this article brought back so MANY GOOD memories. Sad the way industry has turned into profit(not saying that bad things), but it has made some folks do dishonest things [recall that bass tournament 2guys had weights in fish belly got caught- know that happens before...bit this was over years of winning top $$$). Then the Bomar archery issue.
Thanks for the trip down the Ben Roger Lee road. I have custom Preston Pittman signed box call got from him.....never using.

Remember that advertisement in the bow hunting magazines in the early to mid 80’s where Myles Keller was standing in front of a barn with all the mounts? When I was a kid, I thought that was the coolest thing ever.
