THUG Kevin Burleson's Most Memorable Turkey Hunt

They walked all around the bird, searching for the arrow. When my hunter finally walked up to his bird, he laid his bow on the ground to pick up the turkey. Suddenly the turkey’s head came up, and he took off running. Of course, that turkey could outrun the dad and the son, and I was trying to film all the action.

Why Rio Grande Gobblers Are Fun to Hunt

Many turkey hunters like to come to Texas and hunt Rio Grande gobblers, since these turkeys are much-more vocal than Eastern or Osceola turkeys. Most turkey hunters like calling to turkeys, and out here you can call a lot to a gobbler without spooking him.

Taking a turkey with a bow in our area of Texas is extremely difficult, especially if you don’t want to use a ground blind.

Bowhunting for Rio Grande Gobblers with THUG Kevin Burleson

When we have bowhunters who want to take Rio Grande gobblers, we hunt out of a Mossy Oak pop-up ground blind. Most of our country is open, and you can’t come to full draw without a gobbler seeing you. So generally we try to run and gun and use a ground blind

Bowhunting Rio Grande Gobblers

One of the things that makes Rio Grande turkeys in my section of the country near Brady, Texas, different from Eastern gobblers is that our turkeys don’t have specific trees they roost in every night. Our gobblers like to travel and tend to roost wherever they are when nightfall approaches.

The Gobbler That Charged and Flogged a Coyote

I heard a ruckus close to Jeff that I couldn’t figure out. I heard the turkey putting as he went past me. I couldn’t stand not being able to see what was happening, so I peeped over the creek bank. I couldn’t believe what I saw. This big gobbler was charging and flogging a coyote. In all my years of turkey hunting, I never had seen anything like this.
