Texas Rio Grande Turkey and Whitetail Deer Hunts
In 2006, RSO began booking hunts in the "Lone Star" state of Texas for both Rio Grande Turkeys and Eastern Whitetail. After the first season came to an end, all of our hunters went home with birds and bucks in hand. Our Spring Turkey hunters experienced well over 100% hunt success, and the deer hunters didn't do to bad either at 100%.
RSO books hunts on proven ranches that provide a safe, comfortable, and successful hunting atmosphere that offers hunters a reasonable priced hunt. Game populations are managed for long-term sustainable harvest and are provided supplemental feed on a year-around basis. Due to the ranch locations, habitat conditions, and game management practices, game population densities are high and trophy quality opportunities are great.
Hunters have options of hunting several ranches located in central and north-central Texas, depending on personal needs regarding ranch size, accommodations and locations. Trophy quality varies from ranch to ranch, but hunters can certainly expect an opportunity at quality animals on each ranch. Due to the number of ranches and available locations, let us know exactly what you desire on your hunt and RSO will arrange it, including personal hunting leases!
