If you’d like to get in on the shirt order comment or send a message by noon tomorrow.

We had several folks at our sporting clays event ask and several more reach out about shirts from the event. We're gauging interest for an additional order of shirts IF there is enough interest. Cost would be $18 each and $20 for XXL/###L. Comment below or send us a message on the number and size shirts you want. We can take payment by Venmo to order the shirts.

Remembering Tom Kelly

Widely known as the “Poet Laureate of the Turkey Woods,” Tom Kelly lived a life of service, storytelling and an enduring love of the outdoors.

A veteran, forester, teacher and author, the Colonel inspired generations through Tenth Legion and the many stories that followed. His words captured the experiences of turkey hunters everywhere and brought together a community that continues to carry his legacy forward.

We remember his kind heart, generous spirit, fierce patriotism and unmistakable humor.

Thank you for every memory, message and expression of kindness you have shared with our family. Your love and support mean so much to us.

Tom Kelly
May 15, 1927 – October 2, 2026
