The main lure at this time of year for outdoor enthusiasts is putting new line on reels and tuning up boats as they ready to fish lakes and reservoirs.
The hunters are pretty much idle at this time of the year, and for good reason. The only hunting seasons in April are the tail-end of the light goose conservation season and the traditional spring turkey season, which began in April.
Current turkey populations are estimated at around 40,000, a record high. This equates to more turkey license sales resulting in more conservation dollars for the state. My half day hunt started out an hour before sunrise when I set up 3 decoys at the mouth of a canyon along the Purgatoire River south of Las Animas. While I had frequently seen numerous birds in this area, I could not get any type of response but had a fun morning photographing the springtime activities of other large birds like blue herons and horned owls. I also observed numerous flocks of migrating mourning doves and ducks headed north.
Over the next 15 minutes I would call sparingly, and each time get a response gobble which was increasing in volume as the birds moved closer. Looking down into the river bottom full of tamaracks I finally started seeing movement as two nice toms flashed through the thickets. The result of a good fair chase and planned hunt paid off as the first tom came into a small opening between the tamaracks and stopped at a soft cluck by my mouth call.
