You should beable to find it somewhere. Do a search at someplace like Amazon or something. If you can' t find it... try searching under Ben Rodgers Lee. He was best known for his turkey hunting feats and stories. He' s the guy that started the saying, " IF you dug a hole out in the middle of the woods, climbed in and called like a sexy old hen. A big old gobbler could pin point you so well that if you never called again, he' d come over and look in the hole" . He was also the guide the day Greg Lemonde(tour de France winner) got shot while turkey hunting. They were side by side against a big old tree with Ben calling. Some whacko stalked the sound, saw the blobs and shot Lemonde. I have a couple of his old cassette turkey calling tapes from 25 years ago. The boy was great. To me, he was the greatest turkey hunter ever. All these new guys are " Wannabees" !:D

I wish I liked Ben Lee like Davidmil does. But unfortunatley, I bought a product that Ben Lee was endorseing - and it came with a free hunting video. In the Video Ben narrates a hunt where he plugs about every product you can imagine (during the hunt! In fact he never stops talking). Later - he showcases the products that he endorses - and its such a poor salesmenship - that it does him no justice.

Sorry to say that in the video - its clear that Ben Lee was probably in poor health at the time. He seems to be always short of breath and he is severly overweight. I think he died shortly afterward.

HOWEVER - he is known as a hunting legend in many circles. And FEW people come by that distinction by happenstance. Again, I wish that I could see him in the " hunting legend" light, unfortunately, he falls in the Noel Feather category for me.

If my memory serves me correctly, Ben Lee had one of those stomach staples put in and he shed his portly stature. I couldn' t believe how skinny he was the time I met him at a sportsmans show. At the time, he was one of the few hunting ' celebs' , and I got him to sign a bumper sticker I had picked up at the chewing tobacco booth. It read, " Turkey Callers call for Levi Garrett" . Ben added " Good Hunting, Ben Lee" . It still hangs at my desk at work. Unfortunately, not too long after that, he was killed in a car wreck.

Ben Lee, wasn' t he that chineese guy that hunched over in his tree stand and always placed it on the side of the tree out of the wind.:D

He WAS killed in a Oct. car crash several years ago. I did not use his products BUT did view a couple of his deer Hunting tapes. I enjoyed them & the video on the shots were great.
