The Sportsman's Corner

When I was on the "Disabled List" for a number of weeks during March and early April, I did lots of reading. One of the books I re-read was Gene Nunnery's "The Old Pro Turkey Hunter." I'd read it 35 years ago, but I didn't remember much of it. One of the things that stood out as I read it was the set of rules Nunnery's mentor, Gabe Meadow, believed that honest turkey hunters needed to abide by. Meadow said that to "retain the unique challenge of real wild turkey hunting, you had to...give the turkey a sporting chance." That way a gobbler could defeat even the best of turkey hunters.

Anyhow,...
