Turkey hunting with Dry Creek Ranch Outfitters

Your Merriam's turkey hunt of a lifetime may take place on either public or private land. With the abundance of turkeys available, you can expect plenty of action each day of your hunt. You can choose to hunt by sitting in one of our man-made blinds or by utilizing spot and stalk techniques. We will employ various calling methods, including yelping, clucking, purring, cackling, and more, to attract the birds. If you have experience with calling, you're welcome to call in your own bird.

The key to a successful turkey hunt is thorough scouting and a good understanding of the terrain. Our experienced guides know where the birds are roosting and their likely travel routes throughout the day. Prior to your arrival, we will spend a few days preparing and scouting for your Merriam turkey hunt, ensuring we set up close to the roost.

This past week I had the pleasure of hunting the Merriam wild turkey with Dry Creek Ranch Outfitters in Westcliff CO. I want to express my gratitude to the entire team , especially my guide Trayton Nelson, for a hunt of a lifetime. All the guides were top-tier and due to their knowledge I was set up for success day one.

Trayton, though

Trayton, though only 22 years old, was a fantastic guide that really knew the area well and was wise beyond his years when it comes to calling. He was patient and knew the late season tactics required to harvest a gobbler. He put us in the perfect position
To be successful and we were the first morning. We harvested a beautiful mature Merriam around 920.

I would highly recommend them to anyone, experienced or novice. I will definitely be going back next year.

I have hunted with a few different outfitters before, but Dry Creek Outfitters were amazing. They had good communication which was helpful as I was coming from out of town. But the best part was they were prepared for my hunt. They had plan A,B, C and D if needed. They knew where the animals were and planned for how to intercept them. I did a turkey hunt and Kolten did an amazing job calling in a big Tom. While I know hunting often takes days to get a harvest, we were blessed to harvest on my first day. Kolten and Trayton were both salt of the earth guys. I can't wait to come back for my next hunt with them.t description.
