WILD TURKEYS. 



A flock of wild turkeys is a great sight. They are easy birds to trap 

 and kill. They can be baited into any trap with corn, and can be shot 

 at night on their roosts. They can be called with a turkey caller right 

 to the hunter, and if they get into a trap, have not sense enough to get 

 out. 



The best load for turkeys is No. 2 to No. 3 shot. 



In going out for turkeys before the snow is on the ground, a good 

 dog will stand a turkey the same as he will a quail and will trail him 

 for miles. When the dog goes slowly and cautiously and makes fre- 

 quent points, it shows that the turkeys are close. Then go very 

 quietly and avoid all dry twigs, for a turkey seems to know what a 

 gun is. 



When he discovers you, he will start off cackling to warn the rest of 

 the flock.
