It's great to be back with my partners again! Yesterday we started off by discussing the last week, evaluating our hunting strategies and discussing what will come next. Since we never actually managed to catch a turkey, we spent alot of time talking about where we did well, what went wrong, and how we could improve so that if we ever went hunting again (the season has officially closed, unfortunately), we would have better chances. Afterwards we started working on the research part of our presentation, specifically looking at turkey habitats and their niche in the ecosystem, as well as how hunting plays into the preservation and population maintenance of wild turkeys. Zackariah and I took a trip to the Cleveland Heights public library to get some books. All in all we got five research books on turkeys and bow hunting, including one written by Teddy Roosevelt!
