Default RE: Shooting turkeys on the roost

I thought about it last year...had 3 huge gobblers within 25 yards of my setup...foggy, light drizzle...didn't even know they were that close until the fog lifted 45 minutes after sunup. I was talking back and forth with the boss that was 75 yards away...these guys were clucking and yelping like hens, but had some decent beards (8"+). Anyway, it's illegal here in CT...which is why I only thought about it [&:].

To me, nope, wouldn't/couldn't do it. If I need turkey that bad, even on my student's salary [:'(] I could easily shell out the $10 for a nice plump Butterball. The hunt is worth more, in my opinion way more, than shooting one off of the roost.

But if you hunt for the meat, don't have the cash and it's legal...no, I don't have a problem with it being done.
