Turkey Hunting.-We have read sew
eral accounts of persons being killed,
while hunting turkeys. y gentleman
was recently shot through the head, near
GAINESVILLE, IN Ohio, from the circum-
stance of his using turkey caller
We should think, with so many exam
bles before them, huntsmen would be
more careful. There is an obvious rea-
son why accidents of this kind are of such
frequent occurrence. When engaged in
calling, turkey hunters generally con-
ceal themselves,so as not to be perceived
by the game when it approaches. At
tracted by the counterfeit calling, and
unable, from the fact just stated, to OBJ
tain an unobstructed view of the object,
the huntsman frequently kills his fellow
Turkey hunters, be more CAREFUL!
