I was just wondering if there was any CO residents on the board who might have some pointers for a sophmore turkey chaser in the NorthWest corner of CO? Wewwwww that was a run on sentence if i ever saw one! Anyway hope to hear from someone from the flat-tops/bookcliffs area...

Hello MtnGuy------I've from the SW corner of Colorado. With the Merriams down here at least, I've found if they are with hens it's real tuff calling them in . The hens seem to go 180 degrees the other way !! I A couple of weeks into the season seem to be better hunting. The hens are starting to nest & the toms are pretty lonely. Also, it helps to get ahead of the birds & call from where the turkey is heading, if that makes sense.

Thanx Bob for the info all very sound. I had alot the problem you were talkin about with the hens headin str8 away last year so i know JUST where your comin from thanx agin....

I will also be hunting Southwest Colorado; down by Durango.

Boy what a small world. I grew up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. My dad used to take hunters out all the time. He hunted the Flat Tops, Whisky Park, Big Red Park, Yampa, Craig, Maybell, etc, etc, etc. Still have contacts up there. I'll check into it for you if you would like.

Saw someone post to your message from Montana, I went to college in Missoula. Small world indeed.

hey, DHF;KYLEN
I live in drummond mt. and iwork in missoula real small world

Small world indeed i was beginin to wonder if i was the only CO boy here?! Iwas born and raised between Craig and Rifle so all them places are real familier. As for the info if ya got any good spots to bag a gobbler let me know would ya haha.......

Us Montana boys got to stick together. Definatly small world. As far as knowing as good spots, well my buddy down here is letting me on his land by Mancus. Hopefully that hold some gobblers.
