Colo limited draw gobblers

[Jimss]

I've have a pretty decent spot to hunt Colo OTC turkeys. It has taken a lot of time and effort to find such a spot away from the crowds where there is a decent density of gobblers. I have a few pref pts saved up and am trying to narrow down choices for a tom in a limited unit. It seems like most of the limited turkey units in Colo have a fairly low density of turkeys. I have a feeling the winters are either tough or the CPW is trying to establish turkeys in those units....so is keeping hunter numbers to a minimum. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for limited units? I would prefer to stay away from the South Platte corridor because it is similar to what I hunt in Nebraska. It would be fun hunting merriams in the mountains. If anyone has any suggestions please send me a text or reply to this post. Thanks!

I'd love to be in on this, as well.

Mum is the word to all the secret limited Colo turkey spots...or they are just not that much better than OTC units! I don't blame you guys! That's exactly how I am with some of my special hunting locations!

That's a good question, they only time I have bumped mountain birds is when I am hiking in the summer, then they are long gone by fall. I just go to Nebraska to hunt. South Platte units are drawing out at 4/5+ points which seems pretty high for Turkey

The limited units I'm familiar with are like you said, low density and not well established - they're limited for biological reasons and not to create a quality hunting area. I drew one a few years ago and should draw again this year. I might tell you my LE spot if you tell me your OTC spot and how many turkey preference points you have LOL

I put in for a limited mountain unit with two points. I figured it couldn't be any worse than the OTC spots I've found so far. I wanted to hunt the first split on the Platte river but I was several points out and didn't care to wait.

I feel like needing points for turkeys is retarded. It's easier and better hunting to just go to Nebraska or Kansas.

At least you can get 2 points per year though, and still hunt.
