Can anyone point me in the general direction for Merriam turkeys in Colorado. I'm a brand new hunter and looking to get a chance at these birds. I read the info on the State websites and see the most successful counties to go and gone over the turkey distribution map. I'm not looking for your secret spots (unless you want to share, haha) but looking for just a general suggestion of some public land to try on.
 
If you can get access we saw multitudes along our drive to Texas last week, not going to publish the route on here though. They were strutting all along the drainage.
 
Turkey hunting demand is going through the roof in CO. Those front range birds already have a college education. They’re working on their PhD now.
I looked at the draw statistics for Beaver Creek SWA, now that they split it into two seasons anyone with zero points wont be able to hunt that area in April for four years. Its 8 points minimum to get a tag. Looks like ill be scouting OTC Units for a few years.
 
Park your bike, hunt all morning, then come back to turkey tracks walking right past your bike. Or, just wait by your bike next time.

Drive the paved roads up the canyons, get out at every pull off and cut a few times. You'll find a few.
