Rio Grande
MAHA, Attached are pictures of the turkeys I took opening weekend, both are Rios. I found the turkeys very flocked up. When I was able to get close enough to the flock, calling only made the hens take the entire flock in the opposite direction. It was a matter of knowing where turkeys like to be and be waiting there before they get there. The temperatures were in the 30s and the wind was literally 30-40 mph. Thanks to Jon Nee for recommending a new turkey spot, as it paid off. ae
Thank you for sharing your pictures and giving some of the conditions of your hunt. For the traveling hunter the winds and rains have been with us all of the opener so far.
