I figured you were going to say you preferred Wild Ball and Buttered Turkey......
Beggers can't be choosers in my case...

I've only had Rios but can't believe the others are much different. Chicken fried wild turkey breast. OMG good
It's hard to tell from the pic. Looks to be a hen for sure, but could be a rio, eastern, or a hybrid of the two (not abnormal in areas that have both... although, Texas almost exclusively has rio's from what I know).
My favorite way to cook them is to breast them out, then cut in small chunks, roll in seasoned flour, and fry. You can cook the legs and thighs in the crock pot or pressure cooker, but they're so dang tough, it takes a long time.

Here's a pretty good map of turkey distribution from the NWTF site

Even when the Spring season opens here Apr 15th all we can take is one gobbler.

I can say that turkeys LOVE Canada. They must because our government is full of them.
Our spring season starts march 15th with a limit of three gobblers but our one month fall season starts Oct.15 and allows two of either sex.

I figure one of the ways they determine limits is by species population. Just a guess but I'll wager it is one of the determining metrics used to come up with limits for sustainable management.
It's all about management. Here you get three tags that are good for either sex in the fall. If you have any tags left for spring, it's gobblers only until you're out of tags.
The poster with pics was pretty sweet, thanks. I see the Osceolas all the time. There was a neighbor by my wife's shop that would end up having the wild turkeys impregnate his domestics. Sucks he moved I'd be harrassing them with my BigDrowdy call.
Saw 4 or 5 turkey on the shoulder of the road of the road when we left the house to go to church this morning and one for sure was a gobbler.
What do you think they put that bumper on the car for?
Funny you said that! I did kill one with my company van one time. Was going to a paper mill one time and the sun was in my eyes when I was going up a hill. All of a sudden it sounded like someone had dropped a sand bag on my van right above my head and just about scared the crap out of me. When I looked in the rear view mirror I saw feathers coming off the van. I stopped to see what the devil had happened I found dead hen turkey wedged between my work ladder, the ladder rack and top of the van. The best thing about was, it was two days before Thanksgiving. The guys at the mill got a good laugh out of my scare, gutted it for me and put it in the refrigerator for me until I headed home.
