    Looking for some help and ideas

    I dont fish much any more at all since getting rid of my boat.
    I do more hunting now than anything.

    I was courious if any of you might offer some help or advise about public hunting ground with Turkeys.
    I am wanting to try and go for my Turkey Grand Slam.
    We have Easterns here in MO.
    Got a buddy in FL that has some ground I might be able to get on for Oceola.
    So I still need Rio Grands and Mirriams in the west.

    Was hoping some of you all in OK might know of a place that is public ground to go for Rios

    Only place I know of that you might have some luck is the public ground around Fort Gibson Lake. I have killed some nice ones there in the past. Flat Rock Creek area was good. But I'll be honest the Oklahoma turkey population has crashed. Last season was the first time I didn't even go in 45 years. Doesn't look like I will be going this year either. They reduced the bag limit from 3 to 1 bird statewide last season.

    Luke, if you want to shoot a Rio, I recommend heading out into the Oklahoma panhandle. I have a few buddies that go out to the Black Kettle WMA every year and always do well. It’s on my to-do list when I have time.
