Handy Dam - Waterfowl

Handy Dam Waterfowl is located just south of the Handy Reservoir in Berthoud, Colorado. This area is known for its large numbers of migratory birds, specifically Canada Geese. This property will provide a 6-man pit, but any groups larger than 6 are more than 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 in place 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 prior to 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.

This property is right in the center of some excellent waterfowl hunting. As later season approaches, expect to see mass migrations of geese, light and dark. These agricultural fields in close proximity to some larger bodies of water with the mixture of un-pressured land sets up to be a honey hole. Expect to see mostly 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 than most. Be strategic in your approach, setup with maximum cover and a proper decoy setup.
