What ever blows up your skirt! If it is legal have at it! Any idiot can shoot a tom out of a tree!

RR that was in my early days and I learned that very quickly not to call. As you said I was made.....

But the outcome was just fine with me. He was my only 27 lb bird to date.....

If you shoot it out of a tree then your not a turkey hunter , your a turkey killer simple...

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 !!

Shooting birds from a tree ahhhh the memories .
I walked into my faverite bush seen a turkey in a tree boooom then i went home after picking up my qaurry wow something to tell the kids and grandkids friends wow i see the draw to take this method up . lol Not . Ill stick to the ole do my home work and take the chance of failing its much more appealing and you learn the wa of the gobbler in the process .

I've never been close enough to shoot one out of a tree.

are you the same timbrhuntr from OTB? If so then you aleady thinks it's okay to roost shoot them don't you? which seems kind of strange 'cause you spent a bunch of time talking about targeting only 4 or 5 yr old toms because they are more of a "challenge". what is it, do you want a challenge or do you want to be a turkey killer?

JW, i enjoyed your story of your hunt. thanks

I want to be just like you. You are my hero because you know it all.

Sorry I certainly don't know it all! Do write about my experiences though to share with other - read em or leave em - it don't matter to me. And I learn each year I am out there...

Thanks

Ethics can be a slippery slope. There's a fair number of people who think decoys are not ethical.
