Okay so this is getting a little confusing to me. I thought a roost was a place that a bird, fowl whatever goes to rest or sleep. So if a bird is in a tree it is on a roost. What does the time of day have to do with it? I was thinking there was a reason they didn't want them shot on the roost now I am not so sure. I am also in Ontario and I am starting to think maybe its okay to shoot them off the roost as long as its daylight. I know that in Michigan it is illegal to take a turkey while they are in a tree, period. So when it comes to shooting turkeys in a tree what is and isn't ethical? Really confused !!
