Guided Merriam's Turkey Hunts in Southwestern Colorado
Spring Turkey Hunting in Colorado
Turkey hunting in Colorado is unlike any kind of turkey hunt that most people have experienced. This area of SW Colorado has vast mountains, rolling hills, deep canyons loaded with juniper and pinon pine, and river bottoms that intersect the mesas that sweep down from the San Juan Mountains, which serve as a magnificent backdrop for our hunts.
One common thing among all out turkey hunts is the heart-pounding experience of chasing or calling in a big tom during the spring. Our Merriam's Turkey hunts are done exclusively during the Spring season when the birds are fired up and looking for hens. Our guides have many years of Colorado turkey hunting experience under their belts and know how to call in a big tom or make the perfect setup for bow or gun hunters to get the shot they need.
If you need a Merriam's for your turkey grand slam, we will help you make that happen!
Private Ranch Turkey Hunts
On your guided turkey hunt, you can hunt over 5,000 acres of private ground with a great Merriam's turkey population. Our ranch has several types of habitat including riparian river bottom, agricultural fields, thick juniper and pinon pine cover, deep valleys, and open mountain meadows.
This is a fully guided turkey hunt with the primary hunting tactic being spot & stalk, sitting, waiting, calling, and using decoys in the right scenarios to bring the birds to you...or chasing the gobbles on foot which is always very exciting!
Merriam Turkey Hunts in Historic Southwest CO
If you book your turkey hunt with us, you will be hunting in GMU 741 just outside Breen, Colorado, along the La Plata River and in the foothills of the San Juan Mountains. This area has amazing remains of prior civilizations that hunted here for centuries, with petroglyphs on the ranch that indicate ancient people were hunting and domesticating turkeys up to 7,000 years ago. Hunting turkeys here is like taking a step back in time!
If you tag out early, you can spend time in historic Durango with its many mountain town activities, or you can explore and hike around Mesa Verde National Park, one of the most amazing places in North America.
