When traffic merges and you speed up as far up as possible to try and cut in earlier instead of just getting in between the cars you were already next to . I judge you , and I won ' t let you in . <| sep |> Did he have a long illness ? I thought it was pretty sudden ? <| sep |> What you describe doing is legal , you shot a bird but it wasn ' t killed so you humanely finished the job . This still counts as taking the bird with a gun . I doubt that grabbing out of the air is listed as an authorized manner of taking game . In most places unless you take game in the prescribed manner , you are illegally harvesting that game . For instance , when fishing in NC snagging is illegal . Snagging is hooking fish anywhere other than through the mouth , even if unintentional unintentionally snagging is also called foul hooking . It does specifically say that grabbing fish is legal legally defined in NC as grabbling . I checked NC ' s bird hunting regs and it doesn ' t say this is legal or illegal , however it does say taking game in any other manner is illegal in the general section defining authorized weapons and traps . I will say this video is pretty old and if the hunter had run into issues after posting it I ' m sure it would have made the rounds .
