WaterfowlNotes from the landowner
Platte Flats East is a DIY waterfowl hunting property located just east of the town of Julesburg, CO. It is an 80-acre rotated crop field, with a 6-man permanent pit being located in an optimal area for visuals, both for hunters and for any birds in the air. This area of Colorado is notorious for opportunities at both light and dark geese, as well as the occasional field duck. This property holds a 6-man permanent pit, designed to perfection. Hunters will need to bring their own chairs or buckets for sitting. Parking on this property will be across the road in the mowed grass area. All hunters at this location must abide by all state of Colorado regulations, including but not limited to, licensing, limits, and method of take.
Game and habitat information
Platte Flatts East is located in close proximity to the South Platte River, which means throughout the season there will be several areas east, west, and north of the field that act as roosts for any migrating birds. This property will be in a rotated crop program, meaning it will be different every year. For the 2023 season it will be sunflowers. When done right, sunflowers are a natural attractant for geese. This field will be cut, and the stocks will be leveled around the pit, giving geese the ability to land in a decoy spread without hitting their wings on tall sunflower stocks. Throughout the year, there will be several pushes of new birds in this area. Light and dark geese will come through in large numbers, and this pit will be available all season long.

Layout Blind Hunting
Layout Blind hunting for geese can be equally as quality as hunting from a pit, if done right. Hunters who do not have a layout blind, and are members of Infinite Outdoors, should check out their member benefits for discounts on Alps Outdoorz blinds.
