    Question Hunting Turkey while Roosting

    Went crossbow hunting last week and witnessed a turkey shot while roosting. I checked the 2018 Hunting Regulation booklet and couldn't find any mention of not shooting a turkey while roosting within half hour after sunset. Is this legal?

    Yes it’s legal with in the hunting time. It’s personal preference if you chose to hunt them like that.

    I take it the individual shot it with a bow as the gun season isn't open yet. Did they find the arrow? It must have been a complete pass through.

    Shooting an arrow into the sky, against an absence of background, seems incredibly dangerous.
    Better order some Flexseal in case it went into the neighbours roof

    If its legal and you have a safe shot, theres nothing wrong in taking a bird this way. Just because some people don't hunt turkeys this way doesn't mean you cant. Just make sure you have an ethical shot because this will be one of many factors in making your decision to shoot.

    Legal but not ethical to me.
