Texas Rio Recommendation?

Post by Southern Sportsman »

I am looking into a trip for me and a couple buddies for next year. I've never hunted Rios and would love to give Texas a whirl. I don't mind paying a fair price for a good hunt, but I don't need 5 star accommodations or a full-time guide. What is a ball-park price for say a 3 day hunt? Any recommendations on where to go?

Thanks.

They start at about $850 for 2 birds/2.5 days....more u pay u usually end up with better hunting. Ive been told. The southern season opens a couple weeks earlier in mid march vs the northern season which opens in april

I’m not necessiarly tied to TX. I like cooking as well, so lodging with a stove of some sort would be perfect. How would you compare TX to OK turkey-wise? And how many birds do you get on the OK hunt?

Supposed to be, we had a guide run a few early hunts while we were in Florida, but gave our lodge up to those fighting the wildfires. I'm bummed, but that's more important
