Waterfowl Hunting in Colorado
4-12 Guests • Lodge • Private • Guided
Description
3-Day/4-Night up to 5-Day/6-Night Hunts
When you think of hot waterfowl hunting destinations, the old standards come to mind. Places like Arkansas, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan. Take it from me Colorado should be on that list and for a brief moment in the migration maybe even at the top of that list. There is a time of the year when many of the mallards and geese we target pass through the front range and the eastern part of the state. During peak migration, the springs, Platte and many lakes and ponds are temporary roosts to the many mallards, wigeon, pintails, specs, and large and lesser Canada geese. We generally field hunt here in Colorado as we do in all our locations but only offer hunts for 3 weeks of the season. Why is that? Much of the opener is spent in warm if not hot weather waiting for birds to either arrive from the North or leave the water. Much of the late season is spent freezing to death or in a pit hoping to traffic something. Not us! This is a 3-week blast, and we're out.
Located in Ft. Morgan, CO we have access to thousands of acres of land within 1 hour of camp. When traveling from the Southeast or upper midwestern US, Colorado may seem like a far-out destination but when you look deeper many airlines offer cheap direct flights to Denver International this time of year, capitalizing on the ski season. If you choose to drive “flyover country” is beautiful and worth seeing. Ever watch 1883? While pricing includes staying with us, many like to schedule an extended family trip to Denver and the surrounding area while here.
Location
Located about an hour from Denver Internation Airport (DEN). Most rental car companies are located here so request an SUV or truck as you will follow your guide to and from the field each day.

Rules & Guidelines
WHAT TO BRING
WHAT CLIENTS SHOULD BRING
1. Shotgun - A 12 gauge or 20 gauge is recommended with 3 inch to 3 1/2 inch steel or other non-toxic shot in size BBB to 2, gun rental can be supplied with prior arrangements. (Calm down, it's a pump.)
2. Outerwear - Temperatures can vary greatly in the fall, so plan accordingly. Mornings can be 0° to 30° with afternoons being 10° to 75°. Rain gear or waterproof clothing will make your hunt more enjoyable whether it pours or snows. We primarily hunt dry fields, so leather boots will work sometimes, but we highly recommend waterproof insulated knee boots. Afternoon hunts will most likely take place on water, so waders are great to have. Our lodging includes towels, linens, and cooking supplies, but your favorite pillow, soap, and brand of coffee is on you. Please bring house shoes; no hunting boots in cabins or lodge.
3. Cooler - Bring a cooler to transport your birds home with you. Part of an ethical hunt is the proper use of game. We cannot take your birds. The birds you shoot are yours, and you must take them - no exceptions.
4. Snacks - When in the field, snacks are nice to have!
5. Dogs - Dogs are welcome in exclusive groups of 6 or more. Please bring a field blind for your dog that he/she is used to using. We can provide you with one, however dogs are not people, they often will not just hop right in if they have never seen or smelled it before. The morning of your hunt is an unfortunate time to learn this.
TRIP ARRIVAL TIME
Arrival for your hunt should be either late afternoon or early evening the day prior to allow for check in and paperwork.
LODGE CHECK IN AND OUT
Check-in is after 4 PM at each location, and check out will be 9 AM in the morning after your last day's hunt.
LICENSE AND STAMPS REQUIRED
Hunters 16 years and older who take birds or mammals must carry a valid California hunting license.
Applications for draw tags apply to most big game species."
"https://cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/RegulationsBrochures.aspx
All hunters must possess a hunting license in Colorado. Hunters under the age of 18 may purchase a youth license. Additional licenses, stamps, or permits may be required.
Hunters between the ages of 12-18 may purchase a youth big game license.
Colorado does not offer a hunting license specifically for senior citizens.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Many of you have been on a guided hunt with an outfitter before, and some have not. Everyone operates a little differently with what should be the same goal. Our goal is to provide you, our client, with a quality hunting experience conducted by a knowledgeable, professional, and friendly guide.
While shopping for an outfitter for your trip, usually price is a big factor in deciding who you chose. I think value is of the up-most importance. "What am I getting for the money?" We use up-to-date equipment from quality national manufacturers. Decoys, blinds, trailers, etc., are provided in appropriate quantities to be effective in all situations that arise in the field. The lodges and accommodations are very well-kept and maintained.
Birds are cleaned (breasted with a bird hitch with wings attached for legal transport), frozen, and labeled for legal transport.
Upon check-in, we will fill out the required paperwork. At that point, relax!
Unload your gear, pour a drink, and have dinner. It's your choice; this is your time!
Our scouts return or report after dark each day, so a plan won't be made on where or when we will hunt the next morning until then. We will let you know once we have our scout/guide meeting.
Hunts are conducted in the morning and last until we have our limit or the flight is over. If we are well short of a limit, afternoon water options maybe available for those interested. When things go really well and we're done early, the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure.
If your joining us in North Dakota, we offer afternoon walleye fishing by an awesome local charter. (additional fee for fishing)
