If it's legal then no one has a right to complain how another hunter harvests his/her kill. (as long as it's done clean and quick)If you have a personal rule that prohibits you from sluicing a bird out the tree then good on you I have a ton of "rules" and challenges, but I won't force them upon you all under the hammer of public scrutiny. So while I won't shoot one out of a tree as I see no point in it....I won't bash someone else for doing it, unless I had that flock pegged the night before and was set up to call them. Where I hunt turkey though there's usually only one road in and I'll park out of the way but make it obvious I'm down there. If they drove past me and sluiced one then I'd be a little hot under the collar I suppose - but then that doesn't really have anything to do with turkey hunting, that's just being an *censored*. Have you ever sluiced a grouse off a dirt road? It's the same thing if you ask an upland guy with a prized bird dog. Have you ever shot a running phez? Same thingShot a duck on the water? Same thing!So don't get on here bashing the way someone else does something just because YOU don't think it's ethical. The more I read HW the more I'm turning away from what's seen as ethical and relying on what's Legal. The problem is if enough people see something as unethical pretty soon it's prohibited - hounds anyone?(I'm not talking to anyone in particular, so don't take offense)
I like to flush them from the trees and shoot em on the wing.

It's not illegal, but with that said what fun is it to blast them off the roost.
Would you shoot a turkey while it was on the roost? And if not would you hunt with someone who would or did?
once again its a bird! who cares
If its legal. Im stickin em. Put to much money into everything to go home empty handed.
