Mine would have to be the Rio Grande

I like to hunt the ones with long spurs, and beards that drag the ground!

Easterns here for me as well!!

I have only hunted Rio' s or a possible Rio/merriam mix. I love the country that they live in. I would also like to hunt merriams, their white tipped fan is awesome.

I' ve shot them all a few times and would have to say that they all are a great challenge. Seems the terrian is what stands out the most in a good turkey hunt and any Good Old Gobblin' Longbead to add to the Moment of the hunt...BT

Well my relative short turkey hunting time(5yrs), Ive been fortunate to hunt 3 of the 4. I live up in Wa St. I think the Merriam' s becuz up here they seem to be the most workable .Our eastern population is growing but the underbrush where they live is so dense and the flocks are relatively small that you probably would walk right by them and they just duck and hide.

I' ve hunted easterns and Merriams. Think I' d say Merriams by a slim margin.

Rio' s

Until we get Merrriams here in NC, I will go with Easterns
