The Tenth Legion to my collection as well as Around the Edges 2 That makes 3 from Tom Kelly, I also have "The Boat"

I have to finish reading Memories of Spring by Ron Jolly and Haunted by the Gobble by Ted Rize and then I will start on The Tenth Legion and continue on one on the turkey call history books I have been reading off and on as well.

The Tenth Legion came with the typed and signed note with the feather, anybody able to tell what subspecies the feather came from? The book also came with a Tenth Legion bumper sticker.

Very nice. Tenth Legion is a fantastic read, and one I'm sure you won't read only once.

I just picked up Turkey Men, 1st and 2nd volumes, this last week and am really enjoying them so far.

Thomas Pero. The books read as an interview with the gentlemen that have completed the US Super Slam, there's little said by the author but he steers the conversations in the appropriate direction and keeps it entertaining to read, it's not just ramblings of the interviewee.

I can see how they wouldn't be for everyone, but for anyone that really enjoys travel turkey hunting, or truly is a turkey man to the core will certainly appreciate the books.

Let me know what you think of it. It is not as large a book as I thought it was as far as number of pages go, but that is okay, so long as it is large in content :D

Sounds interesting, I added them both to my list on Amazon, thanks.

I have both read that they exist and that they do not, saw a debate in a Facebook group where one gentleman stated that Tom Kelly stated that he never made a call and another man that if my memory suits me produced a call that stated that it was made by Tom Kelly in the paperwork. So to be honest I am not sure. I would not mind seeing one though.
