Are you thinking west slope? I could give you some places on the plains or foothills, or even in my area (91) which is an unlimited license area, and btw you missed the spring drawing deadline as the season starts tomorow. Units with limited left over tags or unlimited license units will be your only hope for spring.

The area around Montrose is said to be pretty good. I have only hunted the east side and not with any success.  I've seen the most turkeys down along the Arkansas River but again, that is east side.

Matty, I'll just copy and paste you the same thing I sent johhnylongbow. I'm no expert, but do get into a lot of turkeys. Since your close by in foco, I think there are several good public places in the northern colorado area worth looking into. Here is a short list; Frank Eastmen ponds & WMA just west of windsor, and the several WMA's along the south platte river by greely, especialy the one just east of greeley by the airport. I cant remember their names but you should be able to look them up easy enough.
