WILD TURKEYS IN 
NEW ENGLAND 
(Continued from page 250) 
there more than a hundred years ago, and 
long after the farm was abandoned the 
old barn stood there, but not in my time. 
One day my father and I were part- 
ridge shooting, I think it was in the fall 
of 1875, and he said, “VVe will work over 
toward the Old Barn Place.” When we 
were there he told me that “Judge” shot 
the last wild turkey here; I think he said 
it was in 1851. 
Around us we could see the outlines 
of the old homestead foundation, and 
not far away I could outline the stones 
the old barn had rested on. There were 
a few old apple trees and one or two 
pear trees, but the old clearing was 
pretty well grown up with brush. We 
had a drink from the old spring, and my 
father bagged a partridge that had been 
feeding on some frost grapes. 
It has been disputed that this was the 
last wild turkey that was shot in that 
region, but I think this is correct. Many 
of the farmers around Mt. Tom raised 
turkeys, and as a turkey is a wandering 
bird, some of these used to be shot, and 
then the excuse would he given that 
they were wild. Judge Phelps was a 
true-born hunter and hunted, trapped and 
fished to his heart’s content, and no one 
ever questioned his word when he told 
a thing for a fact. 
My father often saw wild turkeys fly 
from Mt. Holyoke over to Mt. Tom. The 
Connecticut River divides the two moun- 
tains on the north end of the Mt. Tom 
range, and this is called Mt. Nonotuck. 
I have been looking through Judd’s 
“History of Holyoke” and Hitchcock’s 
“Zoology” of Hampshire County, Massa- 
chusetts. Then I went all through 
Trumble’s "History of Northampton,” 
l)ut wild turkeys were not mentioned. 
What a foolish thing to omit, as turkeys 
were one of the fowls that the early 
settlers depended on. God put turkeys, 
geese and ducks there for the pioneers, 
but one would think, to read Trumble’s 
that the Lord only put old Johnathan 
Edwards and Solomon Stoddard there 
to be of any beiTefit. Northampton was 
settled in 1656. Father told me that 
w'hen he was a hoy his folks used to pay 
8 to 10 cents a pound for wild turkeys, 
and that they were better flavored than 
the tame ones.

grouping of the herd that had passed i 
over the saddle somewhere into Willow |j 
Creek. They had been scattered, and j 
Pop’s prediction that they would prove ; 
to be wild and wary was soon justified. ^ 
By common consent we stopped talk- 
ing and spoke only in an undertone. 
Then, near a big stretch of timber where 
the tracks looked fresh, we tied our i 
horses, took our rifles and separated. !
