Texas Rio Turkey Hunt: Bag Your Limit

Get ready for an action-packed 2-day Rio Turkey hunt with Burkett Hunting Outfitters in the heart of Texas! This top-rated outfitter knows how to put you on the birds, with opportunities to bag up to 4 turkeys per hunter. Whether you're a seasoned pro or looking to notch your first turkey tag, this hunt delivers the goods. From April to May, the Texas countryside comes alive with gobbling Rios, setting the stage for an unforgettable hunting experience.

Hunt Rundown

Your adventure kicks off at the crack of dawn and runs until sunset, giving you maximum time to work those gobblers. With a max of 6 hunters per trip, you'll have plenty of elbow room to set up and call. The initial hunt fee covers your first bird, with additional turkeys at $500 each – a fair price for some of the best Rio hunting in the Lone Star State. Remember to snag your Texas hunting license before you arrive, and get ready to put some serious miles on your boots!

Talkin' Turkey Tactics

When it comes to Rio hunting, it's all about reading the land and outsmarting those wily birds. Burkett's guides are pros at patterning local flocks, so you'll be set up where the action is. Expect to use a mix of run-and-gun tactics and patient blind setups, depending on what the turkeys are doing. You might find yourself calling from a mesquite thicket one minute and stalking along a creek bottom the next. The terrain can vary from rolling hills to brushy flats, so wear comfortable boots and be ready to adapt your strategy on the fly.

Hunter's Testimonial

"Johnny did an awesome job of explaining the patterns & layout of the fields. Absolutely recommend connecting with him for your next pig, turkey, deer, or predator hunt!" - Chris

Rio Grande Turkey 101

The Rio Grande turkey is the star of the show on this hunt, and for good reason. These birds are known for their impressive tail fans and distinctive copper-colored tips on their tail feathers. Rios can be more vocal and less wary than their Eastern cousins, making for some heart-pounding encounters. During the spring season, mature gobblers can weigh up to 20 pounds and sport beards reaching 10 inches or more. What sets Rio hunting apart is the open terrain – you might spot birds from a distance, leading to exciting spot-and-stalk opportunities that you won't find in heavily wooded areas. The gobbling action tends to peak in late April, but birds are active throughout the season. Keep your eyes peeled for jakes (young male turkeys) mixed in with the older toms, as they can provide additional hunting opportunities if you're looking to fill multiple tags.
