The Season
The Season, Tom Kelly's 4th book about Wild Turkeys, hunting in the South and the folks that make up this unique segment of America. Here is what Colonel Kelly had to say on the dust cover of The Season in 1996.
"A spring turkey season in Alabama starts on March 20 and ends on the last day of April...it can begin with wisp of snow and end with a heat wave. For those who are no longer in the first flush of youth, and still find it is their bounded duty to hunt everyday, the seson seems to last two days longer than eternity. This endearing book covers that span of one of these continuums, recorded almost a day at a time. This particular season is neither good nor bad, successful nor un-successful, always mixed, always special unto itself, because there is no such thing as a normal season, or an average day, or a ususl hunt."

I read "Tenth Legion" last year as my first season as a turkey hunter approached. As My second season nears, I had to follow up with "The Season." Kelly is a delight to read. Part psychology, part history, part reminiscence, always entertaining. A worthy read for turkey hunters everywhere!

I LOVE this book. The humor in it is perfect for me. Reminds me of my Dad. Give it a try if you like hunting, the outdoors, and what I think is great humor.
