8 WILD SPORTS IN THE SOUTH. 



The wild turkey is trapped under a crib made of cross sticks, 

 with a ditch dug under one side. A string of grain is laid for 

 some distance, coming down under the ditch and into the crib. 

 The turkeys with their heads down, eagerly picking up the grain, 

 walk down the ditch and into the crib. The grain finished they 

 lift their heads. Finding themselves confined, they are frightened, 

 and never lower their heads again, and never find their way out 

 To ensure success, the woodwork of the crib must be open work, 

 and the turkey is always seeking to escape through the openings at 

 the top, and never looks at the hole by which it entered.
