Goose Hunting In Colorado: How I Got Addicted
Growing up over the years I had the privilege of hunting nearly all of the game species Colorado has to offer. Elk, Deer, Blue Grouse, Ducks, Pheasants but the hunting I love to do most is goose hunting.
When you ask someone who isn’t from Colorado they would probably never even think we had some of the best goose hunting around but they are wrong. Colorado offers everything a goose could want. Rivers, Farm land, Lakes and ponds.
My addiction to goose hunting all began when my Dad took me goose hunting for the first time at Bruce’s Bar just north of Windsor Colorado. Bruce’s Bar was owned by a man names Bruce who also shared the love for goose hunting and he offered several hunting blinds surrounding a large waterfowl preserve. This was the goose hunting trip that sold me on the sport forever!
I can recall everything about that day. We arrived at Bruce’s Bar at 6:30 in the morning, we paid for our blind and then sat down at the bar for a warm breakfast. After breakfast we drove over to the blind. We ended up choosing some blind in an old rock irrigation ditch. As the sun was rising you could hear the sounds of thousands of geese sitting on lake just west of our blind. At 8am the sounds of the geese became louder and louder and you could see this huge mass of geese getting off the lake. After a few circles the geese broke up and flew into different directions. I do remember my Dad shooting several times but I don’t remember if we downed any birds. Regardless of kill count I knew then I was sold on goose hunting.
Since then I have graduated from sitting in blinds pass shooting to sitting in goose pits decoying birds with a short reed goose call. I share this great sport with some of my closest buddies and they all love goose hunting just as much as I do. Just recently we created Colorado Hunting Journal, a website where we share our hunting and outdoors experiences with other Colorado hunters.
