HOWTOHUNTTHEWILDTURKEY. 



COMMENCE training your dog when he is 

 young by setting him on fowls of any kind : 

 shoot them for him, giving him their heads 

 and letting him drink their blood. Take him 

 turkey-hunting with you and when you see 

 fresh tracks call your dog's attention to them. 

 He will soon learn to trail the turkey, flushing 

 the fowls in trees for you and standing and 

 barking at them until you come up. Their 

 nature is such that when flushed they fly up 

 in the timber, and if the dog stays and barks 

 at them they will remain in the branches 

 watching the dog, paying no attention to 

 anything else and thus giving you all the 

 chance you need to get close enough to 

 shoot.
