If you count your success by numbers, then you will not appreciate the depth of this book. Mr. Kelly, an avid turkey hunter, uses the hunt as a background to his insightful reflextions on life. His books are a mixture of Scipio, Plato and Twain, throw in religion and gobblers ( not neccessarily in that order )and you have Mr. Kellys books. These books are enjoyable, even if your not a hunter. He seems like a class act, for an officer, csmo.

although i am an avid hunter i have never seen a turkey except on dining room tables. but this book is as much about people, the woods and wildlife, and the way things ought to be as it is about wild turkeys. anyone with an interest in wildlife and good stories well told will be educated and entertaied by this book, and it should be required reading for anyone interested in turkey hunting.

Mr. Kelly is the most adept outdoor adventure writer I've read in a long while. His writings make you think and learn. A very intelligent man who spent his working life in the woods. As a veteran turkey hunter, I found we share like or exact experiences. I only wish I hunted in his neck of the woods so I could chance a meeting. His writings give you that feeling he'd be one great friend.

Nice book about wild Turkeys in America but nothing about the country of TURKIYE(or Turkey as Americans call it)! Did someone make a mistake? Maybe this book should be under SPORTS and not TRAVEL..........
