Editorial Reviews

"His work fits more closely with the giants of yesteryear such as Robert Ruark, Corey Ford, Nash Buckingham and Archibald Rutledge than with today's "how to" and "where to" writers."

Bob unknown person

"The poet laureate of modern Turkey Hunting."

Jim Casada

"Kelly spins gold from straw, a world from every mile he tramps and rows."

Sam unknown person

"Kelly depicts his hunting companions with the same preceptive wit he trains on gobblers."
