Review
“The first and most famous book by the poet laureate of modern turkey hunting.” --
Turkey Call"There may be people---maybe---who know more about wild turkeys than Tom Kelly, but none writes better about them. His widely acclaimed books. . . have become sporting classics, as the Spanish Fort, Alabama, resident has single-handedly created the genre of turkey literature."---

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Tenth Legion (Hardcover)
It should be a crime to turkey hunt without reading this one! Tom Kelly's work here is simply marvelous. In depth he illustrates what makes a turkey hunter tick and why this individual is compelled to rise rise each and every morning before dawn to go in search of the wild turkey. He tells of some hilarious adventures of his own in the Alabama woods. Though it is not a "how-to" book, any hunter can learn something from this one. This book can be read from cover to cover without the thought of putting it down. As for myself, I read it each year before the season and goose bumps rise on my skin each time. It's that good! The introduction of the book says it best when it reads, "...the book proposes to let you hear, just one time and however faintly, what so many others hear with clarity and purpose all their lives, that dim and distant beat of that other drum."
