Nice bird!  Are the rules different per state on shooting out of trees?

Yes in ky once the bird leaves the roost you can shoot him and they define the roost as where the bird spends the night. I have been set up under birds before that flew to another tree right after day light that I could have shot legally but I wouldn't because i didn't think it would be fair. But the bird I killed had been on the ground for several hrs because I had hunted them all morning and it was about 11:40 when I finally caught back up with them, the only reason he went back into a tree was because I had shot at his buddy and I guess they didn't know where the shot came from.
Thanks everyone for the kind words and as far as the gun I love hunting with that gun, between my dad, my step son and my myself that's the gun we have killed all of our birds with for the last 2 springs.
