This week the Gamekeeper crew enjoys a lively discussion of the Rio Grande subspecies of the wild turkey. Dr. Dwayne Elmore of Oklahoma State University explains habitat, roosting habits, and overall behavior of the lusty, frequently gobbling bird that we all love to chase. We learn why their gobble sounds different and a theory on why they can be hard to kill right off the roost. Lots of turkey obsessed hunters chase Rios every year and if you don’t, you should consider it. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
