Ranchhand99 - you hit it right on the button!

Ethics - the right of fair chase.......it is not ehtical.....and that is why in most states it is Illegal!

Sorry for taking your post off the subject.....

and just to finish my question....think of me as you must...yes I did take the shot.......bird like I said was leagal - a 3 yr old due to the spurs......had a safe shot - branch was perpendicaular to the trunk so most of the shot hit the tree trunk......had a great neck stretched out shot........though I had a heck of a time getting him outat that tree crotch he died in!
