Description

Ben Lee was an early ambassador of modern turkey hunting, celebrated for his expertise in turkey hunting and calling, which he often shared through seminars. The advent of home video revolutionized the hunting industry by bringing hunts into people's living rooms for on-demand viewing. As a result, many production companies began creating content to showcase their turkey calls and gear, turning the stars of these videos into celebrities. This trend began in 1985, and when "Turkey Hunting with Ben Lee and Friends" debuted in 1989, it was at least the third title featuring Lee, but was still among the first few dozen videos of its kind to hit the market. The sleeves containing the videotape were marketing tools, often colorful and with images and titles that greatly appealed to their intended audience.
