Is it illegal to shot a turkey off the roost? i have not seen it in the regs or must have overlooked it but i cant find it anywhere... i have seen on the book of faces that it is and that it aint. im not interested in hunting that way but was just wondering out of curiosity

Had a old bird that had been hunted to hell and back for a few years , shot at a couple times . He'd fly off roost into a 60 ac field ever morning and fly back ever evening. Boys hunted him ever way they knew how . They set up in the field , run him out of the field nothing worked.

I told them I could kill him . They finally said OK Mr big shot you can hunt him last week of season.

I killed him third morning I hunted him . When he flew off the roost and cleared the tree line I shot him . Lol

I never have told them how I killed him

I know someone that did that one time down in Chambers County. Turkey didn’t fall out of the tree. 😁

legal, but I personally wouldn't do it


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

It is not illegal to shoot one off the limb.

"WELL, IT ORTA BEE!" is not a valid legal opinion, either.

If someone tells you that you shouldn't do it, tell them you also shoot jakes, does with fawns, spike bucks and you keep largemouth bass of all sizes to fry. Enjoy watching them spit and sputter like a wet hen.

Prob 15 years ago me and a buddy doubled one morning. 2 stutters came in and I shot one and he never saw them until I shot. The other bird freaked out and flew straight up into a tree right above my buddy. He hit the ground shortly thereafter.

Fair game as far as I’m concerned.

I’d have to be pretty mad at one to do that. What separates turkey hunting from all other hunting to me is the game involved, and in my opinion the game must be played.

Guess I was raised different.. Grandpa told me to never shoot 1 off the roost & he wasn't a fan of "bushwacking em" off a plot either..

In my opinion it’s about the same as shooting one out the window of the truck. Now I’ve been so mad at a gobbler a few years ago, I was to the point of going beg our neighbor for his .243. rofl

My brother went after a gobbling turkey one morning when I had to go to work and I gave him my gun and shells couldn’t find my call. I was like no way he kills it. He text me like 15 minutes later he killed it. I couldn’t believe it, then he said he shot it out of the tree. I will do it if it ever comes down to it
