Hunting Turkey in the Sierra Madre

Filmed by John Henry Shirk (1879-1942) of Oklahoma City in April of 1928. Travelling through the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains in Northwest Chihuahua, Mexico, primarily hunting Gould's turkey.

As they leave, they also pass through Colonia Dublan, a Mormon settlement, which appears to be where the Farnsworths were from. The area is now part of Nuevo Casas Grandes.

The area they hunted is the same that the famous ecologists Aldo Leopold and A. Starker Leopold would go on to hunt and fish in the 1930s

Through caution of Youtube policies, I had to cut a couple of scenes. These included a bobcat, red fox, and skunk caught in bear traps.
