Buckeye Birds #2 is a 124-acre DIY goose hunting property near Buckeye, Colorado, just north of Wellington in Larimer County, sitting at 5,500 feet in the Central Flyway.

The property is an alfalfa field built for dark geese, with occasional snow geese moving through thanks to abundant food and open water nearby. Alfalfa ranks with corn, wheat and sunflowers as a top food source for Canada geese in northern Colorado, especially on bad weather days. The Rawhide Power Plant cooling reservoir to the north stays open year round, so there is always a roost within a few miles, and this field is among the first that feeding birds see on their daily flights. A smaller reservoir just south of the field serves as another roost and a midday loafing spot when it’s open. While dark geese along the Front Range are heavily pressured, this ground has historically seen very little hunting.

Access is exclusive and private for up to 6 hunters, booked one day at a time with no guide, no lease and no outfitter. There are no pits or blinds, so bring your own layout or A-frame blinds. With little tall cover in an alfalfa field, extra brush to build up your hide is strongly recommended. Follow the single path in and out to the blind location as shown in the Infinite Outdoors app, and do not drive through the field or anywhere else.

Every person attending must be a paid Access+ member. Hunters need the proper Colorado small game license and waterfowl stamps through Colorado Parks and Wildlife and must follow all state rules on limits and method of take. Camping is not allowed and no lodging is provided. Wellington is the nearest town for fuel and supplies, with Fort Collins a short drive south.

Buckeye Birds #2 will be an alfalfa field during the 2024/25 waterfowl season and will cater to dark geese more than any other species. Although, occasional snow geese can be found in this area due to abundant food and open water. Alfalfa can be a very popular food of choice for geese, especially, but not specifically, on bad weather days. Alfalfa is among one of the more popular crops in Northern Colorado for geese to utilize - at the top of the list with corn, wheat, and sunflowers. North of the property is the Rawhide Powerplant and cooling reservoir, that stays open all year-round. This means that there will always be an available roost within a few miles, and this field is among several that are the first thing feeding geese will see as they make their daily flights. Just south of the field is another small reservoir that when open, can act as another roost as well as a mid-day loafing location.
