Arizona Guided Hunts

Overview

We are pleased to offer hunting trips in southeastern Arizona for the rare Gould's turkey. The Gould's turkey is primarily a mountain dwelling bird that inhabits the southeastern portion of Arizona in higher altitude areas known as "Sky Islands" (forested mountaintops that rise above the vast desert). The sub-species is geographically separated from the Merriam's by many square miles of surrounding desert. Therefore, the chance for hybridization is slim to none. The Gould's is the largest of the turkey subspecies with longer legs, larger feet, and larger tail feathers and wings than all the other subspecies. But, the most notable difference from the other turkey subspecies is that the Gould's turkey has pure white tips on the rump and tail feathers (Merriam's have cream-white).
