I'm with you on shooting birds on the roost whether it's legal in a state or not. Technically, here in MI it doesn't matter what time of day it is if they are up in a tree. It's plainly illegal in the game laws. My buddy called in a great mature longbeard one time in a real thick area and the bird flew up in a tree real close to him trying to find the hen (my buddy calling him). He could have killed the bird easily and nobody would have known, except him. It's those times when you know you can do something and not get caught that define a true, ethical person. Most guys also don't shoot ducks on the water even though it's probably legal everywhere! The day I have to do either is the day I hang it up!
