WORLD OUTDOORS
THEY SAID it couldn’t be done—
but a West Virginian did it. and
he can prove it.
Harry Magruder, Ridgeley, West
Va.. brought his turkey back alive
. . . his wild turkey, that is, not one
that he picked up at the supermar
ket for his Thanksgiving dinner.
Magruder picked up a wild bird
with his hands in Hampshire Coun
ty. Sam Saville, county conserva
tion officer, will back up the story,
for he reports that Magruder
brought the bird into the game
checking station.
The hunter explained that he had
that at the bird and that it had fallen
over. While starting to pick it up, the
bird got to its feet and began to run.
Apparently dazed, the bird ran in
circles. Magruder managed to pick up
the bird, tie its feet and bring it alive
to the checking station. He said that
he could find no marks or wounds on
the bird.
As far as conservation officer
Saville knows, this was the first
wild turkey checked alive at
a West Virginia Checking station.

Federal aid funds totalling s2l
million have been apportioned for
State fish and game restoration
programs during the current fiscal
year.
Derived from Federal excise taxes
on sporting arms, ammunition, fishing
rods, reels, creels, and artificial baits,
lures and flies, the money is set aside
in two special funds for the purpose of
assisting the States in wildlife and
sport fish restoration projects.
The money is distributed to each
State on a basis that takes into ac
count the ratio its land area and
paid license holders bear to all the
States. Each also is required to
match every three Federal dollars
with one of Its own.
