“We had great production in 2019, so those birds are now two-year-olds across most of the [Rio Grande wild turkey] range. And we had another good year of production last year, so there will be a lot of jakes out there, which bodes well for new hunters or folks that are just out looking to put a bird in the freezer and also bodes well for the 2021-2022 season, because we’ll have a lot of two- and three-year old birds next year,” Hardin said. “Time will tell what production will be like this year, but for now it looks good. I’ve been out around the state and seen birds strutting and gobbling from North Texas all the way to the Rio Grande River.”

“As expected, the strong Arctic cold front passed through Southeast Texas on Sunday (Valentine’s Day). It served as the turning point from a significant winter storm that preceded the front to the
