Cool story, I like the idea that you use what I call the four Ps.

Patience, perseverance, persistence and passion.

I once asked an old timer how he gets them year in and year out?    He said:  "I've never shot one from the kitchen table".

Good job.

Congrats on the birds!  Rios do have the easy reputation, but they can be tough and the places they live can make it tough to set up.  Way to hang in there!

Genesis 27:3 - Now then, get your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

Congrats on two hard earned birds! :icon_thumright:
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Congratulations on the birds. 
All the talk about "easy birds" or "tough birds", regardless of subspecies, is fundamentally a function of where you hunt them.  I, too, had heard all the talk about how easy Rios are to kill,...but it took me seven years to get my first one.

Sasquatch, I know the feeling.  Glad you ended up getting your bird(s). Sometimes, when you look back, it makes the memory that much better.

GobbleNut, I wholeheartedly agree with you.  A couple of buddies and I hunt Rios in central Texas every year.  It's not shooting fish in a barrel like so many people make is seem and is often difficult just to bag one turkey.  However, just to reinforce your statement, the birds the next ranch over are quite different and "participate" a whole lot better.

Congrats on the birds, and yes you better eat your Wheaties when you go after one of those public land Osceolas, lol!
