Sorry to revive this old, long dead thread, but I am new to Turkey hunting, I have been a Whitetail and small game hunter for basically my whole life but I have never done birds of any type before and just picked up a new Mossberg 535 and bought myself an OTC turkey tag. I am an Army recruiter working right beside Buckley AFB in Aurora, CO and am looking for some information on good places to go try my hand at getting a gobbler during the spring season this year in my area. I would prefer a close bit of public land but am not completely opposed to taking a weekend tent trip. Like I said I have never hunted turkey before in my life so I really have no idea what I am doing beyond reading tips on the DOW website and NWTF website. So if you have any tips for Colorado turkey hunting along with the tips on where to go for public lands that too would be appreciated.
