It's on YouTube now / The Colonel and The Fox / Mossy Oak Documentary
I suggest everyone take a few minutes and watch this just release video.
What a piece of history and dedication
Such a beautiful, epic story. This is a must watch for all turkey hunters.

Incredible film. I don't know much on the production team that made it but they knocked it out of the park. Enjoyed every minute of it
I really enjoyed it. Of course I grew up waiting for the VHS tapes to hit the video rental store.
Thanks for sharing Greg
I watched it and thought it was really well done. Great coverage both of the two men that were the subject and of the history of wild turkey restoration and conservation.
As a veteran and undying USA patriot my favorite part was when the narrator asked Col. Kelly if 10th Legion was his defining moment. His response was no, his defining moment was he went to war when there were wars.
Good watch, well worth the hour and a half.
Couldn't agree more Keith. What a powerful statement by Col Kelly. I found it really interesting and I was glad to see some form of Turkey historical content that wasn't just shooting turkeys (as much as I enjoy seeing that)
Got a soft spot for grandfathers and it always makes me proud to see people treat their grandfathers with the same love and respect I had for mine. Really powerful stuff.
An incredible tribute honoring two of the giants in the greatest conservation success story in this country. We all owe them a profound debt of gratitude for their tireless work and wise promotion of the restoration of this greatest game bird that we love to hunt so much. Salute gentlemen.

Thanks Greg, this clearly depicts The Passion some of us share for Turkey Hunting. It brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing...
I'm a big Tom Kelly fan and a long time admirer of Mr. Fox. Mossy Oak produced a gem with this documentary and I'm glad it was done while both gentlemen are still living to see the tribute.
Also very educational for anyone interested in the history of the restoration and come back of the wild turkey. Highly recommend.
I absolutely enjoyed watching. A great tribute to the history and restoration of the wild turkey and two fellas who inspired the passion to make it happen. Very well done by all involved.
Very well done. Great watch. Makes me want to read Col Tom Kelly's book even worse....now if I can ever find one.
Thanks Greg for posting this. Awesome documentary, well done!
The things that generation of men done not only in their local communities but across the country for the love of the wild turkey is remarkable. Both of these men are fine examples of that.
It's a silly thing to say in a way, but when I first saw and touched my first dead gobbler that my dad's friend killed and showed up at the house with at the age of 4, something clicked inside of me and I knew I was going to be a turkey hunter because of the mystery of them. He was wearing Mossy Oak. The thing looked like a dragon!. I knew I had to feel the feathers of another. Being a kid, I watched every Mossy oak and Knight and hale vhs that I could talk my dad out of. Knight and Hale are KY boys, and our Walmart was loaded with their stuff. I naturally gravitated to them and they wore mossy oak. To me, Mossy Oak camo meant turkey hunting. Every time I saw someone wearing it, I instantly thought, that guy is a turkey hunter, and in the rare occasion that daddy let me pick out new camo, it was mossy oak. Always. Still is 26 years later. Watching their videos it was apparent that turkey hunting was their life blood, the realtree guys seemed to be deer junkies that turkey hunted for the video opportunity. I knew that they were my kind of people from the get go. I say all that to say, marketing geniuses or not, I'll proudly wear my mossy oak, my fox vest and think of this documentary every time I do.

One of the best turkey hunting documentary's I have ever watched.
In the video they talked about the NWTF as being a hub of information about turkeys and turkey hunting. That may have been the case in the past, but currently I know of no other place you can access the wide array of information that is available on the "Old Gobbler" forum.
Thanks Greg for giving us a positive thread........
Just watched it. Really put together nicely. Probably the best hunting related documentary I've watched. Thanks for the heads up. God bless
I may or may not have shed a tear or two ...
Those 2 gentlemen hunted for the right reasons .
No likes or face book hero's ....
I respect both men - especially Col. Kelly for going to war not once, but twice. And he wanted to go both times.
Just a side note, Cuz Strickland (also in this film) is also the real deal. Whenever he shows up, he always has something to say from the heart.
What a wonderful tribute to all involved in conserving the wild turkey. It brought me back to so many memories: my first bird, my kid's first bird, my buddy's first bird, and the reality of the present and the future. I pray that many more generations enjoy what we all have...
Thanks Greg awsome tribute to 2 great men makes me appreciate the bird we hunt even more
Just amazing stuff and men/families!
I just watched it and it's awesome. Neil and Daniel have grown into fine young men! Mossy oak will be left in good hands!
Thanks for the heads up on this. It was an excellent turkey hunting documentary. Hands down the best one out there so far!
Yep watched it Friday morning 1st thing! Sent it to my Dad and my son to watch! Definitely worth your time and amazing what those men did for the wild turkey! I mean could you really imagine going an entire turkey season every day it was open to only NEVER hear a single gobble??
great tribute to two fine gentlemen
I watched the documentary over the weekend. It was excellent. Well done. Really enjoyed it.

We certainly owe a great debt to those forward thinking individuals, Tom Kelly and Fox Haas included. If not for the forethought and effort they put forth, we might not be hunting turkeys or even talking turkeys. It was a pleasure to watch and made me even more grateful to them.
That was a good watch. We owe those early turkey restoration pioneers a debt of gratitude.
It is airing on the outdoor channel today. Glad to see it hit a venue where it will reach a broader audience.
Thanks for the heads up, Brent. I have it set to record. Some of us (!) are inexpert at accessing internet television. ;-)
