gobblers prefer a scope ranging from 4 to 6
power on their rifle. An occasional shooter
who delights in long range shots will be
equipped with an 8 power glass.
As in any other sport, some knowledge of
the habits and characteristics of the game being
hunted is a necessity, a little matter of
being smarter than the bird. But it must be
admitted there are exceptions to every rule.
As the old saying goes, "a blind hog will
occasionally find an acorn" and so it is with
the chap out to bag himself a Thanksgiving
dinner. The best plan is to spend some time
in the area to be bunted and learn what the
turkeys are eating, when they are feeding,
and where they are roosting. Acorns and
beechnuts are high on their diet list as favorites.
Wild grapes are another. The presence
or absence of such foods can be the
difference between success or failure.
Calling the big bronze birds is an art in
itself, and offers as great a challenge to the
talents of the hunter as the actual shooting.
Some sportsmen are able to call the birds
with their voices. For hunters who can't
"talk turkey" there are many kinds of callers
which make noise either by friction or
the breath of the hunter.
Friction calls are limited in their sounds
and are used almost entirely to imitate the
~elp of the turkey. Breath-operated callers
may be anything from a blade of grass, the
wingbone of a hen turkey, to professional
calls made of metal and rubber, horn or
bamboo.
One thing to remember is this: if you
