Colorado Spring Turkey Hunting Gear List for guided private land hunts.
Spring is in full swing here in Colorado and turkey season just kicked off. Our spring turkey hunters found great success last season hunting the river bottoms and creek bottoms here in Western Colorado both decoying birds and utilizing the spot and stalk hunting method. While each hunters gear list may vary we thought we’d put together a comprehensive list of hunting gear turkey hunters need for success in Colorado.
