Cumming, Georgia. A new Air Force fighter can fly 1500 miles an hour, either in level flight or straight up. It can probably do even getter, straight down. 1 History-as taught in most U. S. schools-is the version of history the majority of us want to be lieve, to a great extent, anyhow. FULTON LOVELL Talking Turkey TURKEY hunting seems to be a good test of a hunter’s ingenuity and patience. Ingenuity, in that the hunter must devise some means of luring the turkey close enough to get a good shot, and patience to wait it out in some secluded spot until he hears dpMg(k or sees some sign that a turkey is nearby. w During our recent organized tur f key hunt in the I.ake Burton and Blue * M Ridge areas, I talked to several pro fessed experts on the art of calling i \ and shooting wild turkey. Each one had his own way, and for proof that it was the best way, he could cite many j fi experiences where he had brought i * home more tOkey than he knew w hat to do with. After listening to several of these stories (and they were all true, I know, because hunters don’t lie) I decided to corner one of the gentlemen who had just walked out of the woods with a big 20-pound gobbler. As the saying goes, “the proof is in the pudding,” so I determined that whatever method he used, I would accept as being a good one. “Well,” he said, “about the best way I know of is to find a good place where you know there is a turkey around, then get behind a log or some type of covering and see if you can talk him close enough to get a good shot.” Now, this part seemed to be logical enough, and I don’t believe he would get any argument on that point, hut since the controversy between the hunters seemed to hinge on the method of talking the turkey, I inquired as to what method he had used that day. “Oh, I’ve got a little gadget here I rigged up several years ago,” he said, as he held it up so I could get a better look. What he had was a piece of cedar about six inches long which bad been hollowed out, and inside was a narrow strip of slate about two inches long. I have seen similar “callers” on several occasions, but never have I heard one that sounded as much like a turkey when I rubbed the slate over the edge of the wood. Some of the hunters who use “callers” say that its best to call three or four times, then wait fifteen or twenty minutes and repeat the call. Others swear that if you repeat the call the turkey will get wise and turn tail. The gentleman to whom I was talking w’as a firm believer in the latter method, and had me almost con vinced until I heard the rest of his story. “I was sitting behind this log,” he went on to say, “and I heard this gobbling noise that sounded like a Tom . . . so I pulled out my caller and rubbed it a couple of times, and just sat back and waited for him to come to me. Well, I didn’t have to wait long before I saw him pop his neck out from behind this big bush and start toward me. I eased my gun over the top of the log and got a bead on him and waited for him to get a little closer. “Then, all of a sudden I saw this other cue running toward him . . . and the first thing I knew they wore iu a big fight about who was going to answer my call. There wasn't nu>rh doubt about who was going to win the fight because the other one was about twice as big as this one. Anyhow, I got one of their heads in my sights and pulled the trigger. I could have got ’em both but since the limit was one I let him get away.” As I say, hunters don’t lie. And I suppose it is con ceivable that the turkeys were fighting over who was going to be killed, but I kept wondering all dav why he didn’t shoot the big one instead of the little one. t ***** Game and Fish Laws Shad, Carp, Gar, and Sucker are the only fresh water scale fish that can be sold in this state.
