The hunting on this property is what one would expect bordering the South Plate River. Waterfowl line Cedar Creek all fall, along with great opportunities in the surrounding ag fields for decoying ducks and geese.

Spring turkey hunting down the South Platte is as good as it gets in the Colorado with great numbers of turkeys using the ag fields to field.
