Edwards Plateau - Fall Turkey

Fall turkey hunting on Edwards Plateau puts you on 110 private acres of Rio Grande turkey country south of Rocksprings in Edwards County, Texas, in the North Zone. The Hill Country holds healthy Rio Grande flocks, and fall birds run in groups that cover ground in predictable patterns.

The ranch is rugged oak and juniper woodland with rocky slopes, shallow draws, and small openings. Indian Creek crosses the north end as a seasonal drainage, and turkeys use the creek corridor and the brush transitions to travel between roost, feed, and cover. Scout the openings and edges, find the flock, and set up on their route.

Your party of up to two hunters has the property to itself. The existing ranch roads are open to trucks, ATVs, and UTVs, so you can cover the ranch quickly. Portable blinds are welcome, and tent and trailer camping is allowed at the north access.

This is a 2 day hunt priced per hunter, with shotgun, archery, or rifle allowed. No draw is required. Rocksprings has food and fuel, and Junction has the most hotel options.

Rio Grande turkeys thrive in Edwards Plateau brush country. Flocks move along the creek corridor and the draws and feed in the openings between oak and juniper cover. Larger trees along drainages make natural roost sites. In fall, birds stay in flocks, which makes scouting, patterning, and calling scattered birds back together effective tactics.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties, and continue to put conservation at the forefront, we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.

Texas fall turkey season in the North Zone runs from early November into early January. Visit tpwd.texas.gov for this year's dates.
