Wild Turkey in Texas

Wild turkeys occupy much of Texas, with Rio Grande turkeys widespread across large parts of South, Central and North Texas and Eastern wild turkeys associated with forested East Texas. Restoration and habitat management helped recover the species after major historic declines. Hunting seasons and county rules are time-sensitive, so this evergreen profile points readers to current TPWD regulations rather than hardcoding dates or limits.
