Colorado · Wild turkey
Turkey season in Colorado.
Colorado has both Merriam's (western and southern mountains) and Rio Grande (eastern plains river drainages). The state's elevation range produces real timing variation — eastern plains breed first, western mountains last, with high-country birds not peaking until mid-May.
