NO IT ISN'T LEAGAL.

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

It is possibly to do with out hurting them ,but its not legal anywhere I know of . I doubt a leg hold would be a very effective way to do it .

Like Halcon said it is possible to do but not legal.As for a leghold trap a you'll only injure the bird but won't keep it in the trap.I wouldn't recomend it.
