Sample Question:

    The turkey's sharp eyesight and keen sense of hearing make it a very elusive quarry.  Many hunters consider the wild turkey more difficult to take than big game animals like deer.  In parts of the Southeast which lack the deer that are plentiful elsewhere, the wild turkey has come to be regarded as the big game animal.

        A wild turkey is virtually impossible to sneak up on, but, because it gobbles to claim a mate or establish its territory, hunters can use turkey calls to attract the bird.  Though learning the technique isn't all that simple, in some areas one's manhood is in question if he can't properly use a turkey call. 

        Not long ago while I was in the vast swamps near Tallahassee, Florida, researching wild turkeys, I noticed that most male residents carried odd-looking objects--even in the diners while having morning coffee.  I was puzzled until two men pushed their toast aside and talked to each other in the language of the small, boxlike contraptions that they played like violins.  No one could mistake the sounds that emanated, bouncing around that roadside diner like wild things suddenly uncaged, the clear persistent heoh, heoh, heoh, of the wild turkeys.

        Turkeys respond to expert calling for a variety of reasons.  They are itching for a fight in the mating season, calling repeatedly for a mate just before dawn.  They are curious about who else is doing the talking, and sometimes, just plain lonely.
