Get access to this waterfowl property and many others with our 2026/27 Waterfowl Season Passes — unlimited and six-day options available.
Located in Bracewell, Colorado, between Windsor and Greeley, this property offers hunting opportunities on a corn field that previously has been cut for silage and was recently tilled. This means there will be minimal cover so extra effort will be needed to brush in any layout blinds or pit touchup. Fresh snow makes this field ideal given the amount of birds in the area. If you plan on bringing more than 4 people or want a little extra elbow room layout blinds are suggested. The property lies next to multiple reservoirs and is only a few miles from the Poudre River. This property has high demand since there are thousands of geese in the area. There are opportunities for both light and dark geese. The access point lies off County Road 29. You will turn to the west down a dirt road that runs on the south side of the property. Please be courteous of the surrounding houses and ensure you are located a minimum of 500 feet away from each house to comply with local laws. The “Blind/Pit” icon represents the recommended location to hunt. SPEEDING OVER 15mph ON PRIVATE ROADS WILL RESULT IN FINES.
Located right on the front range of the Rockies lies the Bracewell Farms Layout fields. This agriculture-rich environment amid population centers allows for incredible amounts of dark geese to migrate through this area every year. This property rotates crops every year and will be cut corn for the 23/24 waterfowl season. Look no farther than this property for world class dark goose hunting. This region is famous for its density in geese due to the agriculture in the area and the hundreds of open water rivers and reservoirs in the immediate surrounding area. The mixture of the front range, water food sources, minimal hunting pressure, and agriculture is a perfect opportunity to have world class waterfowl hunting opportunities. Please Abide by Colorado Game and fish regulations as well as hunting in close proximity to neighbors and other landowners.

Had a great time. It's a great property. Lots of birds, absolute blast. thanks.
The Bracewell Farm will present a lot of difficulties for goose and duck hunters to kill any birds for the rest of this year. Biggest problem is the field was originally silage corn but is now a dirt field due to the farmer disking after manure was spread throughout the field. As a result the area where the pit is located is a big scar (looks like a big highlight) that hunters will be unable to cover. We had 15 dozen full body decoys and had plenty of birds come take a look but wouldn’t finish due to the geese pinpointing where we were hiding. The only geese we killed where ones 10 minutes after the sun came up in the morning that landed on the edge of the spread and didn’t circle the decoys to notice the scar. The rest of the birds would flare at about 40 - 50 yards from the pit. Most birds would be in the range of 70 plus yards which is the start of the sky-busting range. There is also zero crops to use in the field to cover the pit and the pit is not strong enough to hold dirt if you were to shovel dirt on top to blend it in. In my 16 years of waterfowl hunting the most important piece is your ability to hide and look just like the field. With the current state of this pit the only way any hunter would be successful would be if there is anywhere from 3-8 inches of snow on the ground to cover the scar. Other notes I had is fellow hunters drive around the pit to set decoys but in my experience this is a big red flag to kill waterfowl since it creates tire tracks that are not easy to cover and impossible to set silhouettes since it makes the the ground like concrete. I usually will come no closer than 40 yards to the pit and walk all my decoys from the trailer to where I want to set them or the outfitters I’ve hunted by will only drive one way in and one way out without deviating the path created so there is only one set of tire tracks to cover. The only positive for this field is there were plenty of birds in the area.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, we have amended some of the details of the property listing. With the high numbers of birds in the area we just need some snow cover on the ground.

Landowner downside serious ground work this am. Blending and tilling to break up the packed earth. Pics in the IO Facebook group.
