Gander River (South Platte) - Turkey: 2-Day Hunt

This property is located along the South Platte River, just southwest of the town of Greeley. The southern half of this property is made up of a cottonwood tree line that separates an open field from the sandbars and river. The northern half of the property is loaded with cottonwoods that act as roosting trees. There is thick cover on the north side that birds will use to move up and down the entirety of the river. The landowner reports birds and bird sign regularly. By booking this property, you are booking it for a 2-day hunt. Either Tues/Wed, Wed/Thurs, or Sat/Sun. If a Tuesday or a Wednesday is unavailable on the calendar, then you will need to book another week or weekend. The reservation fee is non-refundable; the outdoorsman fee is per hunter. You will need to bring your current Colorado turkey license, calls, waders if you plan to cross the river, and a ground blind if you plan to hunt from one (there are no designated turkey blinds.) You are allowed a maximum of 2 vehicles on this property.

This area has a good population of both Rio Grande and Hybrid turkeys. This property acts as a travel corridor for most birds in the area, and hunters can typically find small pockets of birds that roost on site as mating season comes into full swing and large groups begin to separate. The proximity to nearby municipalities gives you the chance to hunt turkeys in a unique river bottom habitat along the South Platte River. Look for birds moving along the river throughout the day and roosting in the large cottonwoods throughout the property.
