Nonres spring turkey is $126 and you get 4 tags for Rios or one tag for Easterns in ETX.

If you hunted big game the previous fall, your turkey tags are on that license, but you have to pay a $7 upland game bird fee to use them in spring turkey. 

I hunt deer in TX, so I usually just pay the upland fee every spring.

Yep, no turkeys in TX, just a bunch of desert and lots of stickers :D

Did I mention stickers?  I've never in my life dreamed of hunting in a place with as many stickers as TX. They are everywhere, I mean everywhere.  You can be standing in nothing but sand, kneel down, and get knees full of the little suckers.  We are constantly picking the little buggers out of our gear. At least the skeeters don't bother you over there.
