Turkey

---

Native to North America, the Rio Grande Turkey is one of the most widespread and sought-after wild turkey subspecies. Known for their distinctive gobble and elaborate strutting displays, male turkeys use their fan-shaped tails, beards, and spurs to attract hens and establish dominance. They thrive in open woodlands, grasslands, and river bottoms.

For hunters, turkey hunting offers an interactive and exciting experience, requiring calling skill, patience, and precise timing.
