I started reading this book in January of last year (2017), I finished 3 months later in April, just in time for the first turkey season of my life. I have read that book passionately. I have taken in Tom Kelly's brillliantly - wise words. I maxed out my tags for that season. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I will never forget this. Tom Kelly was a brilliant man and my true inspiration. Rest In Peace

Tom Kelly is an American Icon in my opinion.

Dear, Colonel. You are simply an incredible wordsmith. Never mind the fact that you’re an icon of a turkey hunter. Even my ten year-old son has read your book. It takes a real turkey hunter to know how honest this book is. I have read it dozens of times. Thank you for the huge grins you provide on the days when gobblers fail to do so. Sincerely, Ronnie McKeithen. Monroe LA.

What a story teller I am loving this

I am a new turkey hunter and took my first Tom (8in beard/ 1.2 spurs)! I am hooked, by Gods good grace I found this book after only 1 month of searching in an estate sale of an avid mediocre hunter based on his wall. Nevertheless, I will be forever in debt to this man for passing and leaving this book for me to find as divine intervention. Was hoping you could help with what edition I have? Mine said 3-4th? But was by Spur printing company? Any help would be amazing.
