I live and hunt in Louisiana, so I'm hunting Easterns. I usually kill my two bird limit every season but it's not always easy. I went to Texas last spring for the first time. I killed a couple of Rio's with relatively ease. I have never hunted the other sub-species, but the Rio's were much easier to hunt than Easterns. Of course there were more turkeys around than I'm used to, so this probably had something to do with it.
