Rio or Merriam's Turkey Hunt Wanted
Responsible hunters, father and adult son looking to chase a rio or merriam's this spring. Have some turkey hunting experience for easterns here in IL.
Was thinking a KS Rio or a SD Merriam's would be the closest places to chase each, we're located in northern IL, and plan to be driving, so closer the better.
Open to paying a trespass /trophy fee and DIY. Though open to a reasonable quality outfitted hunt. If we're taking the time to venture out of our state to hunt a turkey, we really want to be successful.
I'm considering using a bow as well, so if you have experience guiding bowhunters that would be good, though my dad will certainly be using a shotgun, though I hear in some western states you can use a varmint rifle on turkeys? You would have to educate me on the rifle/turkey options.
Email or IM me with more info, or post, thanks.

RE: Rio or Merriam's Turkey Hunt Wanted
Saluki,
I do archery only hunts for turkey in the TX Panhandle around Shamrock.
I have tons of birds and if you can shoot it's a done deal.
Had 10 hunters last year and everyone got one except one guy who missed twice.
We use pop ups and I do have feeders going year round.
It's $300 for a weekend hunt and that's 1 Tom and you can shoot hogs.

I have some excellent turkey hunts available in southeastern Colorado. These are fully guided 3 day hunts for 750.00 per person. This includes meals, lodging, guide, blinds, etc. You will see lots of turkeys during your three day hunt. Great hunt at a great price!!!

We have semi guided turkey hunts available at a cheaper rate than fully guided. Check out our website with the packages and prices. Thanks!
