Texas Turkey Hunts

Turkey Hunting is one of the more challenging pastimes in Texas, but it can also be quite rewarding. There are a couple different species found in the Lone Star State, however the Rio Grande Turkey is the most commonly hunted and the largest. These gobblers can be a wily bunch. Their beautiful plumage blends surprisingly well with most of the rugged Texas hunting environments where you will find them. Like much of the game in Texas, Turkeys have excellent eyesight, making good camouflage a must. Generally the best times to get your bird are early morning and early afternoon, afternoon is when you will usually hear Gobblers sounding off in hopes of luring a hen to his side.

Turkey Hunting seasons vary year to year and often by location so their may not be a “best time of the year” to hunt turkey, however often spring is preferred. Fall of course is a favorite to get ready for Thanksgiving, but many areas do not allow turkey hunts during this season, check with the featured Texas Hunting Outfitters to see if they offer a fall turkey hunt this year.
