Tenth Legion Audiobook

This is an Audiobook of Tenth Legion narrated by Colonel Tom Kelly himself. Often called “The Bible of Turkey Hunting”, few books in the sporting world have earned the kind of reverence that Tenth Legion commands. Since its first printing in 1973, Tom Kelly’s plainspoken masterpiece on the art and obsession of turkey hunting has become more than literature - it’s a legend. And its author, Colonel Tom Kelly, is known as “The Poet Laureate of the Turkey Woods”.

Take Back In Fancy | Audiobook MP3

This is a downloadable MP3 Audiobook of Take Back In Fancy narrated by Colonel Tom Kelly himself. “Go back in history as far as you like, back to Daniel Morgan using a turkey call to assemble his riflemen at Saratoga, back to one of those rangy Tennessee infantrymen on his way to New Orleans in 1814 picking up a turkey for the pot, back to Charles Jordan in 1870 along the Tombigbee River or to Henry Davis in South Carolina in 1925. It has always been the same, one man, one turkey, and one piece of ground. It is unchanged as I write this.” Copyright Tom Kelly Inc. 2005
