One who describes turkey hunting as many of us know it. https://go.mossyoak.com/hunting-the-country/season:3/videos/an-afternoon-on-the-handles-alabama-long-beards "Your woodsmanship value and qualities are ten times more important than the actual calling ability."-Preston Pittman

He told me if that turkey wants to come he's coming and if he doesn't want to come nothing short of the will of God can make him.

He was a serious turkey hunter and story teller too. My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I know who he was. What in the heck does mentioning him have to do with Tom Kelly or “Afternoon on the Handles”? I thought maybe I missed part of the story that had something significant to do with him. Last edited by Jstocks; 10/04/20 07:29 PM. Reason: Autocorrect
