Colonel Tom Kelly is an American treasure

Thanks for sharing this video !

A puma is NOT a panther, it has NOTHING to do with the panthera genus. It's just a vernacular name given by some people.

Thanks Mr T

What a delightful man. Had the pleasure of meeting him on two different occasions and he welcomed me with a big smile, listened to questions I asked, treated me with respect and made me feel like an old friend of his. I've got every volume he has written and even today I love re-reading the anew. I especially love the writings that surround his beautiful daughter. It is the desire of my heart to see father/son and father/daughter relationships that of full of love and respect. At eighty years of age, loving relationships between parents and kids still blesses me.

I was living in a big canvas army tent with about 20 other people at Long Pine Key when this footage was filmed! I was there to help with Hurricane Andrew recovery efforts in Everglades National Park. I wish I’d known about Totch Brown back then. I would have looked him up.

I Know Mr. Totch Sure Had The Fastest Boat Around. Suped Up Special. Sure Would Have Like To Have It. My Grandfather Was Born In 1910 Miami & Used The Glades The Same As Mr. Totch.

Most beautiful animals. Can watch them forever!❤❤❤❤❤❤🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨

God bless Kippy Watson's daddy Mr. Jack Watson for the time and effort that he spent saving these precious Key deer. ❤

They are so beautiful and so precious! Unfortunately they trust people too much! As long as we keep the evil humanoids out of Big Pine Key they should be safe. ❤

🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful trip down memory lane

Don't know if Tom's a drinking man or not but I would love to sit and have a drink of Jim beam with him and talk turkey. Don't make em like him anymore.

Am I the only one who this video absolutely breaks down this viedo has me in tears every time I watch it

ALL RIGHT ✅

Just got back from seeing them on Big Pine Key. Grateful for the refuge!

It’s so good to see our beautiful Florida panthers coming back 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great documentary. Can't wait to go here!!! I went when I was a toddler 30 years ago

Animals like this are proof of God's grace...

It’s a cougar

It’s not a panther

2 teams won the car

Were the shell islands created by native Americans or just wind and wave action

2 lady's won the brand mustang comfortable

Scott was a great company. They were innovators in the logging, trucking, and logistics business

Addictive I want to hear more from this great man lol

What a story teller I am loving this

the 'lodge' is GONE! with a hurricane, there are tents for rent now... this is OLD..

Sept. 20, 2020 Hi, I'm Ms Deborah as Totch called me. I worked with him for 3 1/2 years, but it didn't seem like work. I knew at the time that my experience on the Everglades with Totch, his family and friends was something special that I'd forever hold dear to my heart, and I do. I came on the scene to help Totch with his second book that as far as I know never got published. I worked with him on Yesterday's Everglades, and later we worked with John G. Avildsen, Willie Nelson and others on a project to help save the Everglades. I could go on and on. Thanks goes to David and his team to make all the above possible, and we're thankful for Totch who agreed to do it!

Totch Brown learned to fish from my grandfather "Peg" Brown. A little known fact that seems to be dismissed. Torch had several brother's and a few sister's who deserve, in my personal opinion as a Brown, to have their story told along with his to show the Brown's way of life is in the blood of us all. It is an honor to be one myself! JB

I have all three of your DVDs and watched two of them again today. My new neighbors are from Oklahoma and I was telling them about these recordings. Can't wait to get their reactions. Terry and Debbie Gilliam, welcome! Thanks, IVP!

Dear, Colonel. You are simply an incredible wordsmith. Never mind the fact that you’re an icon of a turkey hunter. Even my ten year-old son has read your book. It takes a real turkey hunter to know how honest this book is. I have read it dozens of times. Thank you for the huge grins you provide on the days when gobblers fail to do so. Sincerely, Ronnie McKeithen. Monroe LA.

I want a miniature key buck as a pet. A miniature 12 pointer

Pets?

He has a Ton of Knowledge!!

Read many quotes to my wife. love Tom . #history

Greenfield here, green field here , green field here. Turkey hunting in spring folks

Hi. That is a very historical piece of nostalgia! Thanks for uploading this! 😍 Do you have any vintage newscast or clips from Miami?

It is a very special place. Hope it is coming back after Irma.

I started reading this book in January of last year (2017), I finished 3 months later in April, just in time for the first turkey season of my life. I have read that book passionately. I have taken in Tom Kelly's brillliantly - wise words. I maxed out my tags for that season. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I will never forget this. Tom Kelly was a brilliant man and my true inspiration. Rest In Peace

I had never heard of him until somebody mentioned meeting him on oldgobbler.com after listening here I will have to get a copy of this and some of his others.

I read Totch book over 20 years ago and just stumbled onto this video clip today 7-22-2017. I get a feeling deep down inside something great has been lost since he lived his life all those years ago. It was hard but it was also a life with meaning.

I meet totch back in the early 1980,s 1 good ole boy I fished with Milton santini back in the day in goodland fl

My daddy had told me about this when I was growing up. Daddy said, that my grandfather had told him how to call turkeys this way. I couldn’t remember the name of the bush that you had to get the leaves from. Thank you for sharing, now I know what bush to look for. The Calico bush.

What's the name of intro song

Tom Kelly is an American Icon in my opinion.

This clip says a lot...I saw it before I became a turkey hunter, and it came back to me after I became one.....
