Description

Tenth Legion by Tom Kelly was published by Theo Gaus & Sons in 1973. Tom Kelly, the poet laureate of wild turkey hunting, is, without a doubt, one of the most widely published authors on the subject of turkey hunting. Kelly has penned well over 20 titles dealing with turkey hunting and countless articles on the tradition of turkey hunting. Tenth Legion is considered by many to be the final word on what it is that makes turkey hunters tick. Many call it the Bible of turkey hunting. With a one-of-a-kind wit and wisdom, Kelly brings to life the story of the turkey hunter and the wild turkey. With chapters on people, places, the bird, and so much more, Tom Kelly's Tenth Legion will make the reader wonder just how it is that he can so accurately explain what the wild turkey can do to a hunter. And, if you read the book and don't turkey hunt, there is a very real possibility that you will find yourself in the spring woods chasing this amazing game bird. The Tenth Legion stands on a stage all its own and should be read by all who pursue this bird.
