I guaran-damn-tee you if I somehow wind up within shotgun range of one tomorrow morning that's still up in a tree, there is no way on God's green earth I'm waiting for him to hit the ground and risk losing him. I'd take that as a sign from the Lord that he has finally chosen to have mercy on me and give me a bird and I'll limb-launch his azz so fast it'd make your head spin. These sumbitches have fooled me, humbled me and whipped my azz for 5 years now.....it's personal. Yep. It's easy to be "ethical" when there's 3 more around the corner, or if you've killed 150 birds or both. I've never shot one of the limb, but I don't disparage someone that would. I, and most of the turkey hunters I knew then, didn't limb birds back in the 60's when I counted it a good season if I heard 5 er 6 gobblers alll season and hadn't killed but a couple of birds. It's interesting how even back then turkey hunting ethics evolved differently depending on the area. I won't call the man's name, but you know the place where I grew up and I'm sure you knew a fellow from there whose family owned 12,000 acres. I used to hear the stories of all his turkey hunts. One morning he was on his way to a gobbling bird and heard a different gobbler putting at him. He saw his beard against the sky and blasted him out, and all the other hunters in the group talked about how lucky he was. He carried an M-1 carbine in the truck with him when on the farm and had a gobbler run out of a pasture and fly up into a tree. He got popped out. Everyone in that group carried a scoped rifle and a shotgun. The particular guy I'm talking about eventually quit fooling with a shotgun and hunted strictly with rifle. There was another guy in that group that was a prominent attorney who I'm pretty sure you knew. I remember how impressed I was when he got an article printed in The American Rifleman explaining how turkey hunting was done in AL. He even included his 30-06 recipe that he used. I'm sure everyone in that group eventually reached the conclusion that it's not sporting to shoot a turkey with a rifle or shoot one off the roost, but there was no turkey hunting culture at all back then, and they didn't know about our "rules" we have now. For the record, I wouldn't dream of shooting a turkey outa his roost tree and have been that way for decades. But it ain't the way I was brought up. My dad used to say that all was fair in love and turkey hunting. 
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

BTW, FOR THE RECORD, I did not post this thread to get IDEAS about how to limb launch birds... I was simply posting a "hypothetical" question about turkey hunting situations in which one WOULD consider limb launching a bird, if all else had failed...

I do not think it's unethical.
That's a strong word in my opinion. A lot of things I would consider unethical but shooting a animal out of tree wouldn't be one of them.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
