>>>> There is no public land in Texas that I know of where you can hunt Rios(except quota hunts). However,if you are interested in traveling to the Piney Woods in east TX,there is plenty of public land to be had. Check out www.chron.com which is the homepage for the Houston Chronicle. You can go to their classifides and click on Recreation/hunting leases. You should be able to find some ranches in the S.A. area advertising "Day Hunts"... Good luck.
