Of the five subspecies of wild turkeys, only the Eastern, Rio Grande and Merriam’s wild turkeys occur in Texas. Notice that Rio Grande and Merriam’s wild turkeys have hybridized in far western Texas.
Rio Grande wild turkeys require two basic habitat types: wooded areas and open areas. The amount of interspersion (i.e., close mix-ing of habitat types) of these two types may determine habitat quality and are essential in attracting and maintaining wild turkey popula-tions (Figure 3; NRCS 1999). Figure 3.
This publication explains the characteristics, life history, range, nesting and reproduction of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys. It also discusses the birds' daily and seasonal movements and the effects of predation and diseases on their survival.

Consult a professional wildlife biologist trained in wild turkey and silvopasture management. Inventory the habitat condition of the silvopasture, the farm, and adjoining farms that make up the range of the turkeys in the area. Keep in mind that turkey diets are varied.
22 Σεπ 2022 · We banded 3,141 Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) during 2015–2021 and used band-recovery data to assess annual survival and harvest, and to generate population estimates for male Rio Grande wild turkeys in Texas, USA. Our results indicated male recovery rate was age-specific (adult = 0.095 ± 0.010 [SE]; juvenile = 0. ...
