Chris and ksfowler, why is it more ethical to shoot them in the air?
Well for one thing it is illegal to shoot them on the ground or water.
they have way more protection w/ their wings tucked in opposed to flying. plus, they are a bigger target in ythe air
Turkeys are the same way. We get them flying and shoot them out of the air. Its alot easier in the fall that way because they dont like to come to calls.
I know people who would claim it is unthical to shoot a turkey in the air, but ive done it, me and my dad doubled on a flock of turkeys that flew right at us. And peple will claim it is more ethical to shoot a duck out of the air do to the added difficulty of shooting a fast moving target, and haveing no time to aim properly.
And in CA it is not illegal to shoot them sitting, and Ksfowler, firstly you would need a place that would hold birds long enough for you to sneek up on them like that to make your point valid, the law is more for the duck that lands in your spread well your back is turned
