Summary: Tom hit the nail on the head
Review: 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."

Summary: As essential for a turkey hunter as a yelper or shotgun.

Review: Tom brought back a lot of memories in the way he described Deer Hunting in the seventies. He also gave a lot of useful information on Turkey Hunting. I really enjoyed his humor in his tales. Anyone thinking of Turkey Hunting should read this book first. Anyone that has bee hunting for a while would also find useful information in here.

Summary: Great point of view
Review: Tom Kelly has a great dry wit and it comes out very well in this book. I refer in particular to his opinions on deer hunters. A great quick read for anyone who enjoys turkey hunting.
