Possession at once. 
which the arrow is lodged in their mouths, a 
sight is drawn upon the object to be shot at; 
when with a sudden blow into the reed, the 
arrow is darted out the other end, and with a 
force sufficient to kill at twenty or thirty feet 
birds—and often wild turkeys.” Concerning this 
same practice, Timberlake, 1762, when in Chero¬ 
kee country, writes: “There are. .turkeys, .pur¬ 
sued only by the children, who, at eight or ten 
years old, are very expert at killing with a sar- 
bacan, or hollow 'cane through which they blow 
a small dart, whose weakness obliges them to 
shoot at the eye of the larger sort of prey, 
which they seldom miss.” 
Thirty years after De Rasieries, Adrian Van 
der Donck in a “Description of Netherlands, 
1656” finds that “Sometimes the turkeys are 
caught with dogs in the snow; but the greatest 
number are shot at night from the trees. The 
turkeys sleep in trees and frequently in large 
flocks together. They also usually sleep in the 
same place every night. When a sleeping place 
is discovered, then two or three gunners go to 
the place together at night, when they Shoot the 
fowls, and in such cases frequently bring in 
a dozen or more. The Indians take many in 
snares, when the weather changes in winter. 
Then they lay bulbous roots, which the turkeys 
are fond of, in the small rills and streams of 
water, which the birds take up, when they are 
ensnared and held until the artful Indian takes 
the turkey as his prize.” 
The settlers and foreign sportsmen in general 
try all the Indian methods and invent others of 
their own. Latrobe, when at Little Rock, Ar¬ 
kansas, tries to imitate the turkeys as do the 
Indians. He says, “Yet I plead guilty to having 
sometimes tried to coax the turkeys in rather 
an extraordinary way. The practical hunter will 
induce them to approach him as he steals through 
the grass, by skilful imitation of their gobble 
and piping. But often, as buried in the thick 
cane brake, and watching one of those little 
openings, where the birds sun themselves, I 
heard the tread, rustle, and voices of the turkeys 
around me, and have attempted to allure them 
to me by an imitation of their notes. I never 
succeeded in a single instance. I set up, for 
example, a weak, amorous, sentimental piping 
like the female, it was in vain! no broad backed, 
round-tailed, burly turkey-cock made his appear¬ 
ance. I gobbled in the most seducing fashion, 
throwing as much devotion into my tones as 
I could contrive; I essayed to compass a thous¬ 
and blandishments into a few gutteral sounds 
that were permissible, but these, far from elicit¬ 
ing any sympathetic response, seemed to put the 
whole gang to instant though cautious flight; 
for I invariably observed that very briefly, after 
an attempt of the latter kind, every sound be¬ 
came hushed, but the beating of my own im¬ 
patient and disappointed heart. It was evident 
that there was no mistaking me for a turkey, 
and all the birds that I ever brought to the 
mess, were the fruits of a less guileful, more 
straight-forward and summary mode of pro¬ 
ceeding.” 
Tibbits, in 1874, in “Reminiscences of Early 
Days in Michigan” gives a variation of the tur¬ 
key calling method. “The wild turkey was very 
common, and vast flocks of several hundred 
were frequently to be met with. The usual 
method of hunting them, was for two or three
