Couestracker Report post Posted March 2, 2017 By the distribution map, they are around Socorro on the Rio Grande. Can it be that easy? Any experience with the area, is it all private? Thanks! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRKHNTR Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Hmm interesting never knew they had Rio's around the Socorro area now you have me interested that's just a hop skip and a jump from me. I use to hunt snow geese in that area above the Bosque del Apache Wildlife refuge let me see what I can find out and see if my friends still have access to the farm land we hunted there. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5yearcoueshunter Report post Posted March 7, 2017 Yes, there are Rio's in the Rio Grande Valley around Socorro with plenty of open land along the river to hunt. However, from my experience it's super difficult to find a bird off the Bosque Del Apache refuge and the hunting pressure is pretty heavy. With the limited river habitat, it doesn't take long for the few birds outside of the refuge to get hammered. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've known about them for quite a while, but forgot about them. They were on my list for a few years, butvi never got motivated enough to go. And, they're real Rios, too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The turkeys Syd will be hunting are an intergrade between Rios and eastern. But then, how do you have hybrids with subspecies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
