Rio subspecies Canada

[Fire652]

Is there somewhere in Canada that you can hunt rio turkeys. If so do you have an outfitter

Can't see there being Rios.  But there's almost gotta be some Merriam's in SE British Columbia..............

Yes easterns in Ontario and Quebec and merriams in BC

Manitoba also has a resident only turkey season, but I'm not sure of the subspecies.  Pictures on their website look like they could be merriams, rios or some kind of hybrid.

I hunt turkeys here in Ontario and have for about 12 years now.....we only have pure easterns....
I hunt Alberta some years for big game but not for turkeys.....however in Alberta they have merriams but to get a tag its through a draw system and its like winning the lottery and if you do draw a tag you will have to go through a outfitter......my brother lives in Alberta and he told me Id be better off driving south of Alberta into Montana.....he told me he knows guys that has been appling for a turkey tag for 12 years now and still hasnt got one....Manitoba,Ontario,Quebec and New Brunswick are all easterns.....
I dont know the regulations for Manitoba Quebec or NB...but I do know Ontario and Alberta...
Hope this helps....
