For turkey hunters the arrival of spring is anxiously anticipated. Redbud and dogwood blossoms color winter-weary woods and thunderous wild turkey gobbles greet the dawn. In all of hunting, there is nothing quite like the relationship between a turkey gobbler and a turkey hunter. It’s a connection that’s difficult to explain and nearly impossible to understand, unless you’re a turkey hunter. Author, Ron Jolly, has spent nearly six decades hunting wild turkeys with gun and camera, developing a unique perspective on the relationship and the passion that drives turkey hunters. Memories of Spring is a collection of stories written about memorable turkeys, people and experiences that shaped the author and molded him into one of America’s most respected turkey hunting experts. Read the inspiring story of a hunter who rises above his physical limitations to be successful, then types his version of the story using a pencil held in his teeth. The book features tales of gobblers that earned nicknames like Devil Turkey, Rude Robert and Pencil Beard. Learn the difference between Character Turkeys and Grudge Turkeys, those frustratingly wary gobblers that achieve such lofty status by humiliating hunters. Tes Randle Jolly’s award winning photography illustrates Memories of Spring, capturing the essence and beauty of the wild turkey, complimenting the author’s work in this sure-to-be classic book. About The Author Louisiana born, Ron Jolly’s passion for everything turkey began as a boy when his father taught him the do’s and don’ts of hunting wild turkeys. Since those early years he has traveled the country hunting, videoing and photographing them. He produced 20 feature turkey hunting videos from hunts in over 20 states. In 1988 Jolly became the producer for The Truth Video Series by Primos with credits for The Truth About Spring Turkey Hunting, Volumes 2-8. It was during those years Jolly first began sharing his turkey hunting passion, knowledge and expertise through writing. A master storyteller, his award winning articles appear in major outdoor and hunting publications in print and online. Jolly’s entertaining writing style puts his readers right alongside him on hunts to experience the thrills, frustrations, successes and failures. The author’s deep love and respect for America’s grand bird and ability to spin a memorable hunting tale ensure Memories of Spring will be an entertaining and thoughtful read. Recently, the author was awarded the high honor of induction into the National Wild Turkey Federations’s Grand National Hall of Fame. The February 15, 2020 ceremony will take place in Nashville, TN during the annual NWTF Convention.
