“Hunter Kills Big Deer; Excitement Too Much: JAMESTOWN, N.Y.

“Turkey Season Open Beginning Today: MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Come
Thurs., March 20, and the turkey hunters will be in their glory – that’s when
Alabama’s annual spring turkey hunting or gobbling season opens. These hunters
are in a class unto themselves. Fanatical about their sport as the best girl is
about her hair-do, they will leave home long before daylight, sit quiet as a
church mouse for hours on end in the wildest kind of woods while they turn
female impersonators and try to lure the wily old gobbler within shooting
distance with allegedly seductive turkey hen calls on box, leaf, turkey bone or
mouth callers.
“Only one gobbler a day may be killed and bag limit of five
for the season must include those killed in both the fall and spring seasons.
Hunters will have until April 15 to prove their ability to outwit the
suspicious old gobblers.”
