Turkey Hunting 2024 - Epic LIVE Colorado Merriam's Hunt with a .410

Turkey Hunting Colorado is unlike anywhere else in the country. The Merriam's Turkey that live at high elevation in the Rocky Mountains will challenge you. The main trick is finding them which is why I prefer to wait until later in the season to hunt them. They are normally more fired up and are more prone to gobbling mid-day.

Just hours before this hunt with my wife I tagged out on a nice Tom mid-day. The Toms were gobbling like crazy when the sun would peak out in-between the storms and clouds. You can find a link to that video below. While I was watching out kids and the camper Dani heard a gobble across the river. When we went to investigate we found three jakes and this nice Tom. We quickly threw some camo and and slipped into the river bottom to get setup.

I threw out a Dave Smith feeder hen and a full strut Tom decoy and we got tucked in against the base of a tree. I softly yelped and the Tom gobbled back immediately. I knew right away in was over. A couple more light calls and the Tom was in our laps. Dani shot him at 22 yards with the single shot .410 and the rest is history. From when we left the truck to when he was down was roughly 7 min. This was one of the fastest turkey hunts I've been on. It reminded of this LIVE hunt I did a few years back with my buddy Devin in Nebraska:    • LIVE TURKEY HUNT Gobbler down in 5 MINUTES...  

It seems like the hunts where you can't go wrong are always mid-day or afternoons. What is crazy is I got two of them in one day!

Next on the 2024 turkey tour is Nebraska and then South Dakota and Kansas. Stay tuned, I'll drop videos to those hunts below as I post them up!

As I mentioned in this video Dani has had some incredible turkey hunts. Here is a link to all three of those hunts in case you want to check them out:
