Colorado – Merriam & Rio Turkey Hunt

A premier Colorado Merriam and Rio Turkey Hunts experience offers hunters exceptional spring gobbler action during the most productive calling period of the season. These hunts take place during the last two weeks of April and the first two weeks of May, aligning perfectly with peak vocal activity for both Merriam’s and Rio Grande turkeys. Additionally, this carefully selected timing ensures hunters enjoy heightened gobbler responsiveness and increased chances for close encounters. Furthermore, a Colorado Merriam and Rio Turkey Hunts adventure provides the ideal blend of scenery, excitement, and high opportunity in one of Colorado’s best turkey regions.

Peak Calling Season for Both Turkey Species

The spring hunting window coincides with the most active period in the breeding cycle, when toms are most eager to respond to calls. Moreover, both Merriam’s and Rio Grande gobblers are highly vocal during this time, making the hunt fast-paced and interactive. Because turkeys frequently move between roost sites, feeding areas, and strut zones, hunters experience dynamic mornings filled with gobbles, strutting, and aggressive tom behavior. As a result, this timing consistently produces excellent success rates for hunters of all experience levels. In addition, the mix of both subspecies adds variety and excitement to each day afield.

Thoroughly Scouted Properties for Maximum Success

All properties are heavily scouted prior to hunter arrival. Additionally, guides identify roost trees, travel corridors, dusting areas, and strut zones to place hunters in high-probability locations. Semi-guided hunters also receive precise insights, ensuring everyone benefits from extensive groundwork. Furthermore, each setup is chosen strategically to maximize calling effectiveness and visibility while minimizing pressure. Consequently, hunters enter the field fully prepared and confidently positioned for success.

Designed With the Hunter in Mind

These hunts take place on diverse landscapes near river bottoms, foothill mesas, and brushy draws where both turkey species thrive. Moreover, the terrain is manageable, making it accessible for hunters of all ages and physical abilities. Guides are patient, skilled callers who tailor each hunt to match the hunter’s preferred style. Ultimately, Colorado Merriam and Rio Turkey Hunts deliver peak-season action, quality preparation, and a memorable spring hunting experience in one of the West’s most scenic turkey habitats.
