HUNTERS KILL
TAME TURKEYS
Mifflin County Poultryman
Loses Large Number of
His Fine-Bred Birds
Lewistown, Pa., Dec. 19.—Many wild
turkeys were killed In this section
during the recent hunting season,
and as usual there were hunters
eager to make a reputation who did
not hesitate to kill a tame turkey if
they were afforded a chance. This
class of hunter makes so many tres
pass notices possible and hurts the
chances of others to hunt legitimate
game on many acres of land. One
act in this line occurred to the turkey
fiock of J. D. McClintock, whose pens
are near Gibboney Park, Mifflin coun
ty. Mr. McClintock makes a business
of raising fine turkeys and has by
patience and hard work built up one
of the finest flocks in the country.
His flock contains much wild blood
on account of wild turkeys coming
from the mountain and mixing with
his flock, giving him birds hard to
beat for fine breeding. Mr. JJcClin
tock takes great pride in his flock
and hundreds of people who have
seen them admired them. Last year
two hunters, who are known, killed
two birds out of this flock and took
them home, Baying that they had
killed them on the mountains and
that they were wild ones. This year
two men, who are reported as known,
killed the finest and highest-priced
gobbler owned by Mr. Clintock and
said they had killed a wild turkey.
