Are we talking about shooting them from their roost or hunting near their roost? Hunting near their roost:Absolutely. Shooting them from their roost: Absolutely not.

In MO it isn't an option. We can't hunt after 1 PM. Only being able to hunt part of the day is good for the turkeys. Gives them a chance to regroup for the evening and makes sure the hens all get breed.

No way! Even if it was legal I still wouldn't do that way.

i see no differents between hunting on the roost and shooting them out of the tree, but to each his own

Turkey on the ground?= dead turkey. There is no way to know which exact tree to sit under to get a shot at that tom.

I wouldn't shoot a turkey on roost, but wouldn't look down on someone huggin up to a roosting area and tryin to catch one before it heads back up.

How would this be different than setting up on a known strutting zone?
