Turkey and Pheasant Roost on the Back of a Bear and All Have a Good Time. Hunters who have spent consider- | able time in the mountains in the | vicinity of Salladasburg, Pa., tell of | a black bear that has been living in | that neighborhood for months, a wild ant that they have turkey and a phea traveling together all season. Within the last month this bear, ; turkey and pheasant have been seen hunting on the mwuntain side re- | cently he saw a bear in the distance. It was too far away to permit a shot, and as he gradually worked his way toward Bruin he saw a gocd- sized turkey drinking from a small stream, and near the turkey stood a pheasant. The gunner had visions of all kinds of game and for a mo- ment he stood and tried to think out some plan whereby he could at least get more than one out of the three. While he was doing the figuring the turkey and pheasant flew toward the bear. “Imagine my surprise,” he contin- ned, “when I saw both turkey and pheasant alight on the back of the big bear. It simply paralyzed me. I had never heard of such a thing in all my life, but there it was right before my eyes. “Well, the bear walked around for a short time with the burden on his + back and seemed to actyas if he was used to it.
