Well he did say it was his 4th and if I had to guess with knowledge that he would get 12 weeks leave that timing seems to have been intentional.

I have shot two turkeys in flight that I can recall. One my lab got up and it scared the hell out of me . The other was after I missed with my first shot . I was lucky to get both of them but shooting them in flight is something I prefer not to do .

Well it's not like I've been hunting all daylight hours of every day of the 12 weeks but I appreciate the concern for my marriage. My wife and I are very stable and happily married. And we hunt or fish for something year around so there's no timing it with kids.

Come to ask about wing shooting turkeys and get marriage advice, I love Rokslide

I think it is pushing the bounds of "sportsmanship" to shoot at flying turkeys unless u already wounded it and trying to finish it off.

I had a crazy experience in OK about 10 yrs ago. I was working a bird that kind of shut up so I was coming around the edge of a small hill (I didn't know the terrain and was trying to figure out a spot to set up again in better location). As I came to the top of the hill the gobbler was there and he jumped up in the air about 50 yds away. Another hunter was coming from the other direction, he had not been calling at all and I had no idea he was there. I didn't even think about shooting - but he did! The bird crashed to the ground. Scared the sh*! out of me and he got a bird. Public land hunting at its finest.

I’m wondering how many of the people here saying they would never shoot a flying turkey are the same people who take 60+ yd shots at geese with steel shot and say it’s unethical to shoot them on the water.

I never understood the holier than thou crowd on glorified grouse. Love eating wild turkey and will kill them as I see pleased as long as legal. Banning reaping is laughable.

Dogs will at least point a grouse.

I’ve killed them about every way you can, I don’t get it and yes I’ve shot a few flying, they all died.

The best I’ve ever eaten I would describe as less shitty.

If you say there like hunting elk you probably rode a short bus as a child.

I told my wife I wanted to have our kids born between January and May as most of our hunting wraps up mid January and fishing doesn’t start until May. Our first was born in January so I manage to make it work the first time but since they opened a new late rifle season I told her the next one has to be born in February.

It's unsportsmanlike to shoot a pheasant on the ground and also unsportsmanlike to shoot a turkey on the wing.

Hunters are funny with the way we all decide who can/should do what (not excluding myself from making such judgements).

For what it's worth, I remember reading an article that was referring to a hunt circa Teddy Roosevelt. A bunch of turkeys were roosted somewhere along a ridgeline. Shooters were positioned at the toe of the slope and drivers pushed the birds towards them.

Awesome, great you gave her some time to get out and kill some turkeys too while she is on maternity leave.

Have a good one
