RE: Shooting turkeys on the roost
NYS and when I hunted in Pa on public land I had a riot.I was hunting a place in Pa during the week there might be five other cars on 12,000 acres.
I know a guy that guides in SC when he comes up he hunts public land.

All the guys who said that they would "never" do it. What kind of property do you hunt private or public???

RE: Shooting turkeys on the roost
I can't believe that there are folks who would actually shoot one on the roost. That's something that all even half-way serious and responsible turkey hunters should strongly discourage.
I can imagine a young kid who hasn't been taught how to turkey hunt doing it, but not an adult.

RE: Shooting turkeys on the roost
Well this is a sore spot for me, and here it is :
1/ It is the Most uneithical thing that a person could do.
2/ It is not hard to do what so ever.
3/ If it is done , the person is not a hunter but mearly a Killer and does not fit into the turkey hunting sport bracket.
4/ All DNR's and MNR's that approve of this type action , does not care about the sport of ethical hunting and must approve of the action for different terms other then the sport (Tags=Revenue).
5/ If you have as a person getting into the sport , I sure hope that you have decided after you did it the first time to resault into a better ethical way and learned from passed exsperence , that Calling a bird into range is a far more better exsperence , then this sort of action.
These type hunters take away a part of the sport for the true Turkey hunting sportsmen, as I hear the same every year in this country I live. This is one of the Lowest grade eithics I have heard of from being a part from Pouching. I have and would suggest to all to presure your DNR /MNR to have this sort of Regulation changed in your State.
No one will hunt with me and take on this sort of action as a resault of killing a bird in my area or anywhere else I hunt or guide...BT
