Default RE: roost hunting

OKAY
First my thoughts on shooting roosting birds - oughta and is illegal in some states. O don't do it!

Now..........

Scenrio

You are in a river bottom - is rather wet after a flood - there is puddles and small ponds alll over the place - is midmorning - you working this Tom that comes flying through the trees - as he took off from a ridge to your right- you see him and are excited and expect him to light right in front of you - you have no decoy out - the river bottom trees are huge silver maples - tree canopy and branches are really high - here he comes - he is flying at you as if a poster kid off the Wild Turkey Liquor bottle - You see the red head, the beard - the whole ten yards - He is a Huge birdand he lights in the only dang branch 10 feetoff the ground- 20 yards in front of you. You have called this bird in!

What do you do?
