congrats!!! that would be EXCITING....shooting him like that to me wouldnt be like blasting one sleeping on the roost sound asleep....you called him in.....he just got on a perch to try to find you...congrats......dont question it.....i wouldnt shoot one off the roost....but i definetly think if i had one fly to a perch in a tree to look for me because he couldnt find me i would blasted him....people will argue with me because i took one flying one year.....fall bird....flushed it from the top of a pine tree......wasnt calling or anything...actually looking for pheasants....dropped her like a brick....knew i could do it.....fall thats my tactic....never had luck calling them....so i sneak around trying to catch up and bust them then......works for me if you know your birds.....sneak through a feeding area and you can find yourself in the middle of 40 turkeys all running wild....worked last fall.....only i could never get one to stop without having 4 or 5 other heads behind his! congrats on your bird......that would been an awesome hunt
