Notes from the landowner

Handy Dam Waterfowl is located just south of the Handy Reservoir in Berthoud, Colorado. This area is known for its many migratory birds and Canada geese. This property will provide a 4-man pit, but groups larger than 4 are welcome to bring layout blinds to set up beside the pit or in your decoy spread. There are no seats provided in the pit, so hunters are encouraged to bring their own buckets or chairs. There is a 2-vehicle maximum rule for this property, so please do not drive in the field with more than that. All vehicles and hunters must use the approved path into the field, as shown in the Infinite Outdoors app. All hunters must be active members of the Infinite platform, and must accept invitations before the hunt day. All hunters are required to have their Colorado small game license, as well as all stamps necessary to waterfowl hunt in the state.

Game and habitat information

This property is right in the center of some excellent waterfowl hunting. As the later season approaches, expect to see mass migrations of geese, light and dark. These agricultural fields are close to some larger bodies of water with the mixture of un-pressured land set up to be a honey hole. Expect to see primarily geese with the occasional curious duck. The geese will feed in the early morning and evenings on these pivot fields and will loaf in the large bodies of water that cannot be hunted. These waterfowl see much less pressure than most and are willing to come into decoys much easier, too. Be strategic in your approach, setting up with maximum cover and a proper decoy setup.

Access Duration

1-Day Hunt

Brushing in Blinds

This 4-man pit is built at the beginning of the season. Hunters are encouraged to spend a few minutes brushing it in to keep them in quality condition and keep them well hidden from birds.

Payment Process

Reservation fees are processed at the time of booking and are non-refundable. All outdoorsman fees will process automatically, 48 hours prior to the hunt.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be made 48 hours or more prior to the adventure. Cancellations made within 48 hours will be subject to partial or full outdoorsman fee charges.

Availability

If there is a lapse in availability, please do not be discouraged to reach out to IO. All calendars are set and managed by landowners, and unavailability is set by them. However, IO is willing to reach out on your behalf, to check on available dates. Other reasons for unavailable dates include biologist recommended hunter/harvest quotas that landowners implement, as well as state season dates not being released.

Trespassing

You are not legally allowed to access the property, for any adventure, prior to your selected access day. If you try to access the property at all before your selected date(s), without prior approval from IO, you will be subject to trespassing and punishments therein.

ATTENTION HUNTERS

There is an established eagle's nest on the eastern boundary of this property. The provided pit is outside of the state required distance guidelines. Discharging of a firearm anywhere other than within the provided goose pit, or from directly outside of the goose pit, may result in disturbance of the eagle's nest and is not allowed. If any negative effects on the eagles are observed during hunting, including birds leaving nests immediately upon shooting or any other disturbance, immediately contact the IO team. By booking this listing you agree to these terms.

Pit was easy to find and access. No brush and very little ground cover to use for hiding pit so bring your own if you have it. 45* and sunny… just a bunch of high flyers. Would like to return when it was cold and birds wanted to feed.
