The Season

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 usual hunt.
Through Tom Kelly's watchful eyes, catching all the idiosyncrasies of the turkeys and turkey hunters he sees, this is one season you'll never forget.
