Rio Grande Newbie

Hi All-

Just had a quick question about Rio Grande Turkeys... I am heading to Texas (northern) for a turkey hunt and wanted to know if there were any things to be aware of when hunting Rios as compared to Easterns or Merriam's?

Reason I ask is that when I went from hunting Easterns while living in Illinois to hunting Merriam's in Nebraska, I found that the terrain made birds sound further way than they actually were. Couple that with the fact that they seem go gobble softer started explaining why I kept running over the top of them while trying to close the distance for a set-up.

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Got it covered! I was hesitant at first - but decided to try out a set of snake boots for the trip!

Thanks for the heads-up!
