I’ve taken Eastern, Merriam’s and Osceola with my bow. I need a Rio to complete the Grand Slam. At my age, I’m running out of time.... so… I’d appreciate any advice where to go?

Try Brushy Hill Ranch, Sabina TX. It's a self guided low fence ranch covering about 15k acres. You'll see them and a bunch of Javelina as well.

You could apply for the ONE Rio tag that Arizona gives each year in a drawing, HA!

I arrowed mine in Clear Lake , CA. Hunting around vineyards was pretty awesome. Lots of birds.

From what I gathered years ago, states that introduced multiple subspecies can cause interbreeding and if you want a true subspecies traditional states like Texas is where to find true Rio...

No way id hunt Texas over N Cali. Turkeys and scenery are two things Kalifornia has going for it.

King Ranch has lots of birds but $5200 for two day hunt with two birds. No meals $2600 per bird. Probably could shop a little and save a few bucks

TX would be my choice. No way would I give CA my money.
