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.
How do you guys hunt them then? In the fall we normally bust them up, get in the middle of where they all went, and then call. You get surrounded most times, if you do it right.
We do it the same way but we hutn them on mountains so when you bust them up they have a tendency to fly over whoever is the lowest on the mountains. They always come running back to where the flock was when we bust them up.
