Turkey hunting in Colorado isn’t for the timid. Known for its elk and mule deer hunting, Colorado is also home to rugged mountain Merriam’s gobblers. From the low-elevation high desert and cottonwood creek bottoms, all the way up to towering canyons and jagged high-country mountains, the state offers some of the most hardcore turkey hunting in the country. As HuntStand’s Josh Dahlke was reminded, turkey hunting is turkey hunting … and you’d better take your shot when you get it.
