For the turkey hen and young we built another penn, near to that where we had imprisoned the three `old gobblers. The one last constructed was made with more care and closer between the rails, so that the youngsters might not get out and wander off. "Frank again baited his log-trap, and used for a decoy one of the gobblers, which he tied by the leg to a rail.
"Shortly after this event, Frank became the hero of the hour; and his achievement was one of considerable importance. For some time, he had been keeping his eye upon the wild turkeys; and for the purpose of securing some of them alive, he had constructed, not far from the house, a species of penn which is known in America by the name of `log-trap. This was a very simple contrivance.
The log-trap, or dead-fall, is also in use among the Kamschatkan hunters; and the penn formed around the mouth of the bear's cave, shutting him up, until an entrance can be dug into it from above. In the summer time the mode is different. Then the hunter lies in ambush, with his loaded rifle for the Kamschatdale carries this weapon in such places as he expects the bear to pass.
The hunters of these parts have various modes of capturing him. The log-trap is a common plan; but the planters enjoy the sport of running him down with dogs; or rather should it be termed running him up; since the chase usually ends by Bruin taking to a tree, and thus unconsciously putting himself within reach of the unerring rifle.
