Colorado Hunt this year?

[kerks28]

Hey guys (and girls), new to the forum although I have been posting on DuckHunting for awhile. I am also somewhat new to Colorado Merriam hunting. I took a Rio last year in GMU 102, but no luck on the public land for Merriams yet. I have only been out 2 years here though.

Just wondering if anyone wants to head west of Denver (Where I'm based) to scout/hunt this season at all. I am also down to go south if that seems better. I have looked at about 10 SWAs and some more public land besides and I have seen some birds on private land while getting there, but not much on public. I am also down to go knock on some doors around GMU 102 again as I know the area and there are plenty of Rios, just need permission. If you are interested or want to help a new guy, send me an email to skerkmans (at) gmai l (dot) com.

PS: Generally I hunt with a 12GA but getting better with the bow.

Scott

Sorry this reply took so long. Just found this forum again and plan on getting involved again. Didn't see too much this year. I just bought some land near the area you are referring to, so I am sure I will be getting down there more. Didn't see anything in Pikes this year despite a couple trips. Went down south GMU 85 as well. Saw some hens. Otherwise not much. Did you have any luck?
