Leo Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Rio's have a reputation for being easy. I think that is absolutely not always the case. They are still turkeys and you will encounter one that tests your patience regardless of species. Look forward to a tough Rio story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I dont think a turkey would have been worth walking through waist deep water for a 1/4 mile to me. You are a dedicated hunter is all I can say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntinguide Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 the thing was a creek was the only way to get to him the last 400 yards or so. He was in the middle of a pasture bedded up for the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Congrats huntinguide. Lookin forward to the pics & story. You have to do what you have to do to get in the right position to make the kill. Did a couple hundred yards of creek walking in Missouri Saturday only to find the bird left by the time my buddy and I got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
