I would go to the nwtf web site. look for their regional biologists. email them about your desire for an outfitter. Not sure which state you want to hunt?
in texas adobe outfitters in san angelo will work if you want to go with a well known outfit. I have never hunted with them but was in the same airports as their customers for many years. I never heard one unhappy coming or going. and that says a lot.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you are successful. I've gotten my butt thoroughly kicked on public land in KS the last two springs and haven't fired a shot yet. Found some turkeys to hunt but traveled many miles across multiple counties to do so and have been hampered by almost impassable muddy roads and BIG thunderstorms. They do love to gobble but getting them to come to you is another matter.
....The ad page in the Houston Chronicle. You'll find dozens of hunts of all descriptions. www.Chron.comturkeyfoot - Mind sharing some info on where you have been able to just pay trespass fees in TX? Have family down there and could maybe tie it into a trip!
As far as Kansas goes, I'm fairly certain that birds west of the Republican River Valley are pure Rio's. Not just coloration, but their legs and necks are shorter and that's typical of short grass prairie birds.
I've never noticed a difference in legs and necks on the birds.
The Rios will flat out do some walking in a days time.
you guys need to hit SD one time hem blackhills Merriams are some ground covering jokers as well
Merriams have shorter legs but like to travel more than the others, I've heard. One would think the opposite would be the case.
