1:20:00
i could shoot a rifle
before i was weaned,
1:20:02
but they was
exaggerating some.
1:20:04
Yeah.
1:20:08
Now, supposing
these here cartridges
1:20:09
is a flock of wild turkeys
a-flying across the ridge
1:20:12
coming this-a-way,
right at me.
1:20:13
Which one of them
would you shoot first?
1:20:15
I'd take a crack
at all of them
1:20:17
and trust to luck.
1:20:18
You wouldn't have
no luck that way.
1:20:21
No?
1:20:21
Then i'd pick
the motorman.
1:20:23
The what?
1:20:24
The motorman.
The guy out in front.
1:20:26
That ain't right
either,
1:20:27
if you want to get
more than one.
1:20:29
Which one of them's
got the most meat on them?
1:20:31
Yeah. What's
the answer?
1:20:32
If you shoot
this one here, the leader,
1:20:34
the rest of them
will see him drop and fly off.
1:20:37
So you draw down
on the last turkey here
1:20:41
and then
the next one,
1:20:42
kind of coming
from back to front.
1:20:45
Then the rest
of them
1:20:47
won't know
they're being hit.
1:20:48
Of course,
they might flare off some
1:20:50
when the shooting
starts,
1:20:51
but if a feller's
got himself a repeating rifle,
1:20:54
he's got
a good chance
1:20:55
of getting
the whole flock.
1:20:57
Sounds all right.
1:20:57
Turkeys sure is
dumb animals.
1:20:59
Seems you picked up
a good bit
1:21:01
down in the hills.
1:21:02
Anybody that's
done any hunting knows that.
1:21:04
Alvin c. York!
1:21:05
Report to major buxton
immediately.
1:21:07
Yes, sir.
1:21:08
What have you
been up to now?
1:21:10
I don't know.
1:21:11
I been aiming
not to make no trouble.
1:21:13
It's your move.
1:21:18

obliged to you,

and captain danforth.
