Double Barrel Hunting Lodge offers some of the best duck, goose, and spring snow goose in hunting in Colorado. This world class waterfowl experience is stocked with heated pit blinds with built-in cooktops. Located 90 miles east of Denver, Colorado, Double Barrel Hunting Lodge sets on 400 + private acres with 17 DU hunting ponds and boasts a hunting and fishing lease on the 200 acre Vancil Reservoir which is the area's prime waterfowl roost.
Land
Double Barrel is +-400 contiguous acres of rolling grass land featuring 17 ponds. The ponds designed by Ducks Unlimited are tied together and fill from seep and overflow pipes from Vancil Reservoir each spring and early fall. This area is known to be the mecca of waterfowl for Colorado. The ponds have blinds throughout the 40+ acres of ponds with underground power run for pits and ice-eaters.
The property also has irrigation set up to water millet around the ponds which further enhance the dove and duck hunting.
Improvements
The main improvement is the Lodge. It is a cozy home with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths that can sleep up to 17 people in its current configuration. It boasts an open concept with a great room and open kitchen to host a slew of buddies and is complete with a pool table, card table and large dining room table. It is a fantastic place to have a beer and talk about the hunt.
There are two metal outbuildings and a two car garage to hold all of your hunting equipment. Pheasant pens and brooding houses add another species to hunt when the morning waterfowl hunt is over.
Recreation
This is some of the best waterfowl hunting in Colorado. Between the area of the South Platte, the ponds on the property, and the lease on Vancil Reservoir, you can really control the roost. The summertime fishing is excellent on Riverside Reservoir and is private to you as long as one keeps the lease in place. Currently there are 3 years left on the lease.
I have spoken to 100s of hunters that have hunted this property over the years and they love it. It is one of the most consistent spots in Colorado for ducks, geese and snows.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
There are general well water rights for the home and for agriculture. The ponds fill off a designed overflow system to Riverside Reservoir each spring and fall.
Location
The property is located 90 miles northeast of Denver. It is 80 miles from Fort Collins and offers great year round access for all your hunting needs.
