He who views the great American bird
only gastronomcally is a stranger to the

shot or merely tried to shoot the wild COB
bier in his wild woods
Big and beautiful and brave and wise,
the wild turkey is an ideal game OF the
United States. He is big enough to satisfy
some OF the material craving of even the
big game hunter. He eludes the still hum
ter as subtly as the shyest deer. He gives
the cross country rider, coursilg him with
hound and horse, a run that often is equal
to fox hunting. The wing shot finds him
equal to the occasion.
He is the grandest game bird in the world.
Not even the royal auerhahn, sole living
representative of the ancient big game
world of Europe when the huge auerochs
crashed through the forests, can compare

weather that makes tramping through
woods and over mountains pleasure. But
the turkey can be found as far south as
Florida. Florida turkey shooting is easier,
as a rule, than 1t is in the mountainous and
thickly wooded states They have some
things that they call mountains down there,
very neat little hills. Such group Of
mountains lies in the center of the pc
aims. 1t is near Apopka lake, one of the
many beautiful crystal water lakes of Flor
Ida, and any one who wants turkeys enough
to work for them within reason can fairly
expect to get them there. Fine big birds
some of them are, too. Captain L. G. Bill
ings of the United States navy got one
weighing twenty-eight pounds, a notably
big gobbler for a wild one.
Delights" Of Still-Hunting.
No man should decide to still-hunt wild
turkeys without having considered the mat
ter solemnly in the light of the experience
OF others. The bird is all nerve and mus
Gle and wariness from the moment he
opens his bright eyes to the dawn. He can
see the hunter long before the hunter
catches even the first heeting bronze sheen
Of a single feather of his. Big as he is, he
can melt away in the underbrush, stirring
neither leaf nor twig as he goes at top
speed. He can squat in a clump of dead
grass scarcely enough to cover him and lie
there SO close and motionless than the
sportsman may almost step over his re-
treat without dreaming that a twenty
pound gobbler is in it.
When the bird is tracked on snow, he will
lead the shooter a chase Of miles. The
turkey can hear as keenly as he can see.
cracking twig under foot will startle him
more quickly even than deer would be
alarmed by it. Often the man Will not be
able to get shot, although he may follow
a flock all day long. Often he will get his
shot only after he has actually walked the
birds down-tired them out by close, patient
grim pursuit. The man who do, that is
athlete.
If still-hunting and training is the finest
form Of turkey hunting, calling or yelping
Is perhaps the most thrilling. The turkey
caller goes abroad while it is night. He Sc
lects his position in the thicket or bushes
with only starlight to help him. That po-
sition must be chosen with reference to
two points: one that the turkey roost shall
be within hearing distance of the hunters
hiding place and the other that the ground
in front shall be open so that the turkey.
when he is lured from his cover. must step
into full view and present fair mark.
Scarcely does the dawn begin to show
before the calling begins. The "yelper''
usually Is made of a turkeys wing bone
and the sounds that an expert tarheel or
