My buddy texted me and wants me to find a Rio hunt for 5-6 guys so he can finish off his slam.

I've researched some of the outfitter review sites, but would like some opinions from you guys about any recommended outfitters.

Thanks.

I have never used an outfitter so I coudnt be any help with that, you might want to check with public land hunting

I go to Texas every year to hunt Rios. There are good outfitters everywhere. The more people you have, the better rate you can usually get. Some may have a maximum of 4 hunters, others more. I love chasing Rios. They are usually a little easier to hunt than Easterns, but pressured and henned up Rios can be tough also. How much are you wanting to spend? How many birds are you wanting to take? If you need some contacts, I can give you the info on some places that won't cost you a grand per hunter. There are some good places where you can take two gobblers plus lodging for under $800.

Another thing, don't waste your time trying to find public land to hunt. It's few and far between and usually crowded on weekends. I have hunted LBJ Grasslands a few times. I've killed a couple out there, but there are fewer and fewer birds there every year. My advice is to go on a semi guided hunt, that is if you and your group know what you are doing when it comes to turkey hunting. Just let me know and I will help you find a place.
