Intresting Question???????????
This past friday, I was calling and had many birds within 80 yards in every direction, including a gobbler about 60 yards, all still on the roost. A jake flies from his roost in front of me and lands in the tree next to the one I am against. As I sat there looking up at him trying to find the hen he has heard the past 15 minutes, I was wondering if he would still be considered on his roost? Not that I was going to shot a jake with a gobbler answering every call I made prior to the jake showing up and putting me in a freeze pattern, but I thought about it. Florida law says you can not shoot them from the roost, the roost is the tree that they slept in, I called him in to the tree he now occupies, so do you think that it would be legal? I will tell you what the game warden said later. Again, I would not take a turkey from a tree, but I just thought about that question. What do you think?
