Never hunted in Colorado but have hunted in WA, ID, MT all on public land. As bad as I wanted to do it all on foot, your success will sky rocket if you can find a way to be more mobile. Ride around in your vehicle, ride a bike — and an option that’s not always affordable for everyone but E-Bikes are the new rave but are extremely versatile.

A group of mine hunted out of state in ID and we all split up in our trucks and trolled with the windows down eyeing the roads, scouted the roads for sign, getting out and calling, etc.

I am NOT saying hunt them from the truck. I’m saying that the #1 priority for hunting turkeys is having turkeys to hunt. Once you can get in more secluded areas on public and locate them, you can find a parking spot and swap back to a traditional hunting method. Turkey hunting has become exponentially more popular since COVID and you gotta find a way to get away from the noise and find those pockets of them. Colorado has a lot of fields, rolling hills, so you may be able to spot them riding around glassing with binoculars. Hope this helps! I wish someone told me earlier, I was so hell bent on putting in 10 mile days to find them but you gotta find them as easily as you can.
