Edwards Plateau - Spring Turkey

Spring turkey hunting on Edwards Plateau gives you 110 private acres of Rio Grande gobbler ground in the Texas Hill Country, south of Rocksprings in Edwards County, in the North Zone. When spring arrives on the Edwards Plateau, the brush country comes alive with gobbling.

The ranch blends oak and juniper woodland with rocky slopes, shallow draws, and small clearings. The Indian Creek drainage along the north end gives birds a travel route and natural roost timber. Gobblers strut the openings and edges in the morning, which gives you room to set up decoys and call birds in close.

With up to two hunters per booking, the property belongs to your party for the hunt. The existing ranch roads are open to trucks, ATVs, and UTVs for slipping in before daylight. Bring a portable blind if you like to hunt from cover. Tent and trailer camping is allowed at the north access, so you can sleep near the roost.

This 2 day hunt is priced per hunter, with shotgun or archery. No draw is required. Rocksprings has food and fuel, and Junction offers the most hotels.

Rio Grande gobblers on Edwards Plateau roost in the bigger trees along drainages, then fly down into openings and brush edges to strut and breed. The rolling, broken terrain carries gobbles well and lets you close the distance quietly. Hens nest in the brushy cover, which keeps gobblers working the same areas through the season.

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 spring turkey season in the North Zone runs from early April into mid May. Visit tpwd.texas.gov for this year's dates.
