Not only has the wild turkey the repu-
tation of being the shyest OF all game
birds but he deserves It. Lucky N
deed. is the man who can say that one
of those splendid birds has fallen to the
crack of his gun. At one time the wild
turkey was quite numerous in the Unitea
States but civilization. more guns ana
more hunting have steadily thinned out
his kind. Now, in many places. the
turkey Is but a memory, and old-timers
sit about the fire on a winters night and

they used to have calling up smart

When the noble red man roamed the
forest ,rfmeval the wild turkey made
MANY meals for the willy savage, for
against the cunning and stealth OF the
bird were matched the same quaEties OF
the Indian. In fact it was from the
friendly Indian that the Pilgrim fathers
learned how to hunt the turkey. There
is an old story that when the choice OF
some bird to be the emblem or America
freedom was being discussed II was Del,
Franklin who held out first, last and all
tbe time in favor of the wild turkey. he
wanted the proud and beautiful bird that

There are many ways to hunt this beau

gobblers and the hens in what is termed
the .'yelping'' or mating season. This
method is also employed In the fall when
a Young iock has been badly scattered.
Another method is that OF locating the
birds by learning where they feed. by
An old turkey hunter will note where

had been eating corn. AS he Kept vigil
a turkey slipped by and was swallowing
the corn without the hunter ever having
seen the bird get there This shows how
silent and stealthy is wild turkey. The
birds have a wide range and one never
knows lust where he will run up on
them. so he must be ready. In the
summer and fall they go In Groves. In
late winter the gobblerS sometimes go
together. An expert can scatter drove

A fact not generally known about tur-
KEYS is that the wild ones can swim.
The birds never take to the water unless
crippled, but wounded one will swim
