When you've got a liveing legond to hang out with. Me and Wes went to the convention today and there were 50 people waiting to see Waddell but we went and seen Mr. Tom Kelly himself, what a great honor to met and talk to this man, he signed our books and I got a call signed by him as well, Mr. Kelly was gracious enough to take a picture with us, course he told us that now "You boys want ever be able to run for public office now" so I let him know that we were'nt far from being outlaws ourselves. Enjoy the pics.

Met him a couple hours ago myself, bought 'the season' and had him sign it. Sat and chatted a bit, great guy.
That's cool.

I was, Wes called me and said he was there, I got so excited that I ran over, asked him to sign my call, shook his hand and took off, met up with Wes and told him about it and Wes asked me if I baught one of his books, no, I said. So we went back and I apologized for it and then we got to talk some more.
I would have loved to meet both hunters, I am a big fan of waddell :icon_thumright:
50 people heck there were 150 people wanting to see wadell but kelly was my pick he was a real ginuine guy to talk too he seemed happy to take a pic with us but i look like im trying not to pass gas in the photo
That's a great picture, Rick. I would love to meet the man myself. I adore Col. Tom Kelley. I could listen to him talk all day long..Good for you..Mike

:agreed: :icon_thumright:
He was giveing dvds away with his book, but he also gave me a cd of him reading the Short Spurs stories in turkey hunting magizine, can't wait to listen to it.
I like Waddell, would even like to hunt with him, but Mr. Kelly was/is a specail treat for me and Wes, we've met super famous people, but no one as cool as Mr. Tom Kelly.
I must be in the right place, I just signed on a few weeks ago but was a little hesitant. If y'all are pickin' Col. Kelly over Wadell I must be home. Congrats Rick, I hope I can meet him too some day.

What an honor to have met Mr. Kelly! I would love to meet him someday. Just love the way that man can tell a story! :icon_thumright:
That is awesome gettin' to meet Mr Kelly. Some of the new age guys are alright but old school guys rock. I was able to spend a little time one on one with Fred Bear back in 1981 and I will never forget it. Way more interesting than the "smilin' salesman" of today. :icon_thumright:
:agreed:
Pretty cool Rick!
Nice ! :icon_thumright:
I can tell you that all of his books are GREAT. While you are reading them, it is like being there with him. He is a GREAT MAN who cares about our sport.
Any body else notice recently that Waddell was endorsing Budweiser? Saw a picture of him holding a Bud. Reckon how that sits with Bill Jordan?
