 or strutting, or both. Do not be in a hurry, for 

 generally he is in no hurry, but has all day to 

 worry you, and will surely do it if you continue 

 calling after you have said enough. If you de- 

 sire to get your shot at the gobbler as early as 

 possible, call as little as you can after you have 

 got him interested. If you continue to yelp 

 every time he gobbles, he will stop in one place 

 and gobble anywhere from two to six hours, ex- 

 hausting all your patience and temper. 



In selecting a place to call from, there is one 

 caution that should never be forgotten: never 

 get behind a tree so that you will have to look 

 from one side to point the gun ; the turkey is sure 

 to see you and run away before you can shoot.
