Below is from the regulation section for Migratory Game Birds.

•Lawful Hunting Means and Methods: Shotguns, archery equipment, falconry, dogs, artificial decoys, and manual or mouth-operated bird calls are lawful. Hunting is permitted in the open or from a blind or other type of concealment or from floating craft or boat provided that all motion resulting from sail or motor has ceased. Sails must be furled and motor turned off before shooting starts. A "sinkbox" (see definition) is unlawful

I am getting some flu flu arrows and decoys together to give it a shot. Its going to be hard no to pick up the scatter gun but it will be well worth the fun.

X2 - I already got a flying pheasant with my longbow. The flying doves are next on the list.
