A Day of Hunting for Rio Grande Turkeys

Turkey hunting is much like bass fishing. There are some bass fishermen who are looking for that bass that’s ready to bite. Then there’s other bass fishermen who believe they can make any bass bite, whether the fish are hungry or not. They’ll stay in one area, be patient and continue to fish for that bass until they finally catch him. I’m not like this kind of bass fisherman.

Persistence Pays Off When a Rio Grande Turkey Hangs Up

Although you usually see and hear numbers of turkeys and get in places where gobblers show up, a Rio Grande turkey hunt won’t be an easy turkey hunt. One of the problems we have with Rio Grande gobblers is the really-open terrain. The gobbler expects to see a hen when he hears a hen. If he’s within 50 or 60 yards of a hen, he thinks that hen should walk to him. So, we’ve had

Seed Bed Preparation is Crucial

Seed bed preparation is extremely important in growing successful food plots. Many planting failures can be attributed to poor seedling survival or lack of germination due to incorrect planting depth and poor seed bed prep. This is especially critical when planting small seeds like clover, chicory, brassicas, or alfalfa.

You Can Hunt Rio Grande Gobblers All Day

One of the biggest differences that eastern hunters notice, when they come to the West or Midwest to hunt Rio Grande gobblers is that they get to hear a lot of gobbling. I don’t think we put as much hunting pressure on our turkeys as the eastern gobbler has had. I’ve had some eastern hunters tell me that in 3 days of hunting at Heart of Texas Bowhunting, they’ll hear more turkeys gobble than they’ll

Find Another Turkey to Hunt

When a wild turkey tom wakes up in the morning and starts gobbling from the limb, I think he’s like a tightly-wound rubber band. If you see a turkey with a lot of hens, and you’ve tried to call to that bird and can’t pull him away from the hens, leave him, go hunt another turkey, return to that same area, try and call him again; or, come back late in the afternoon, and attempt

Capture the Moment with Quality Photos

We spend countless hours and days preparing, driving, scouting, and hunting turkeys. But it’s interesting how once we’ve accomplished our mission, few of us take a few extra minutes to take care of our bird and put forth the effort to capture the moment with quality photos. I’d suggest to everyone reading this that it’s worth taking a few extra minutes and going through a little extra trouble each time you, a friend, or family

Rio Grande Versus Eastern Gobblers

When the Rio Grande gobblers pitch out of a tree, generally they’ll all go in different directions. Seeing 10 to 20 gobblers in one tree with some of them strutting before daylight is a sight that most eastern turkey hunters rarely, if ever, will see.

Successful Turkey Hunting Is All about Attitude

Some of the best turkey hunters I’ve ever been fortunate enough to hunt with aren’t boastful. They’re humble, and they love to learn about turkey hunting from other people. If you have the opportunity to hunt with turkey hunters you know are better than you, and if you see them use a call, a tactic or do something different than you do, then you need to take note of that.

Shut Up and Listen (for Turkeys)

The turkey hunter’s ears will find more turkeys than his eyes will. But you can’t hear a turkey gobble, especially if he’s a long way off, if you’re not being extremely quiet. A good friend of mine, Tom Kelly, explained it best when he said, “You’ve got to cause your whole body to become an ear.”

Many Turkey Hunters Walk Past Turkeys They Can Take

Many times I’ve been filming other hunters trying to call turkeys. After they’ve used their owl calls and their crow calls and cackled to try and make a turkey gobble, they’ll say, “There must not be a gobbler here. Let’s go to another place.” I’ll smile and say, “Do you mind if I blow my loud nasty tube call before we leave?” Many times I’ll make a turkey gobble close by that hadn’t answered any
