I have read Henry Davis personal hunting diary...very little in there about turkeys he killed the ones I recall he shot out of trees. The stories were mostly about deer he shot with blue whistlers....not sure but I figure it was a local name for buck shot.
After reading his personal hunting diary I looked at Henry Davis as more of a rich kid, lawyer, writer that wrote a book on turkey hunting.
The better turkey book "The Wild Turkey and Its Hunting" by Edward Avery McIlhenny, Charles L. Jordan. It was written 30 or 40 years prior to the Davis book not much doubt Davis leaned heavily on the Mcllhenny/Charles Jordan book for his information..
Henry Davis authored another Samworth book better than his turkey book it's titled "Hunting with a .22" great book and talks about and pictures some of his custom .22s.
A story that comes to mind is a Sunday afternoon ride that yielded 60+ hawks he shot...I recall it was 67 or 69 hawks shot out of his vehicle.
Henry Davis killed more hawks than DTT.
