Turkey Ranch Lodge #1 - Lodging + 3-Day Turkey Hunt

Turkey Ranch Lodge #1 is a DIY turkey hunting property located just outside of Paonia, CO in GMU 521. This is an OTC unit for spring turkey hunting. The terrain on this property is diverse, from mountainous to forested areas and pastures. It holds a large population of birds and has had minimal to no hunting pressure in the past. This property includes lodging (fitting 4 to 5 hunters comfortably) and private access to around 300 acres of private land which is connected to over 20,000 acres of BLM. The northern access point on the map is a FOOT TRAFFIC ONLY trail that will take you into BLM. The reservation fee is a set price for the 3 days of lodging and can be divided amongst your party. The full amount will be processed at the time of your booking. The outdoorsman fee is a per hunter fee, which will be processed 48 hours prior to your arrival on the property.

This mountainous property on the western slope of CO is ideal habitat for Merriams. The surrounding alfalfa fields and roost trees provide habitat for good numbers of turkeys throughout the spring. Hunt turkeys underneath snow capped mountains on this amazing property!

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties - and continue to put conservation at the forefront - we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.
