The Running A Ranch - Turkey

This property has not been leased to hunt in the past. It contains a small piece of the Arkansas River on the far north border and provides plenty of roost trees and grassland to harbor birds. To access the property, head north from CR HH, following a lightly worn road for half a mile. There will be a fence you need to pass through after you cross the railroad tracks. Then curve west on the same track, following for a 1/4 mile, and you will arrive at the property border. Park here, with a maximum of 2 cars. Bring your Colorado turkey license, calls, decoy, and blind if you plan to hunt from one. Waders are not necessary as you cannot hunt on the north side of the river. Use the two-track road to take you into property boundary and access by foot traffic only from there.

This area has a great population of Rio Grande and Hybrid turkeys that use the properties roost trees along the Arkansas River and surrounding habitat for their spring breeding season. Birds also use the adjacent agriculture fields to feed throughout the day. The property has thick groves of Russian Olives that provide great areas to hide and call from. Find birds using the area near the creek in in the early morning and late evenings before moving into feeding areas nearby.
