Spring 2010 Texas Turkey Hunting
We are taking reservations for the Spring 2010 Turkey Hunting season. The fee for 2010 is $600.00 per
hunter booking a three day hunt on the main Saltfork River Ranch and $180 per additional day if needed.. We offer three or four day hunts only on the Saltfork River properties. The Saltfork ranch will impose a two
bird limit on all hunts; only one mature Rio gobbler may be harvested per day and of the two bird limit, a young hunter will be allowed one jake. The ranch provides an ideal habitat for the Rio Grande Wild Turkey
species, as there are ample roosting areas, a river, multiple creeks and miles of rolling prairies covered with sage and mesquite. We have alfalfa, peanut, rye, millet and winter wheat plots throughout the
ranch. The Saltfork ranch area is covered with scrub oak and produces millions of acorns each season. There are numerous corn feeders throughout the ranch to hold birds close to hunting areas. We do not
hunt over our turkey feeders; they are used only to keep birds circulating on the ranch. We have developed a number of new food plots for turkeys that will enhance hunting throughout the ranch.
The following stipulations apply to each respective Saltfork turkey hunt: 1.Only National Wild Turkey Federation Members will be booked
2.Only two Del Rio gobblers can be taken per hunter and they must be longbeards 3.No rifle hunting will be allowed, all turkeys must be taken with a shotgun or bow
4.No more than 6 persons may be booked on the same section of the ranch at the same time period 5.All hunts will be a 3-day minimum. Our reduction of bag limits will insure a higher proportion of mature
long bearded gobblers each spring season. Saltfork Hunts has the philosophy that it is the hunting experience, not just the kill that is of prime interest. The challenge is in the hunt—the calling of
that mature Rio gobbler and the visual and auditory memories that remain long after the season has been concluded. Additional hunts in the Oklahoma section of our operation may be arranged upon
request. This will require an Oklahoma hunting license, the season is almost exactly the same as the Texas season however Oklahoma state law stipulates a 2-bird season limit.
