I view this as a safety issue. It would be very dangerous to be walking around these areas while the Turkey season is still open and I for one would not take that chance given the nature of how turkey's are hunted......with great stealth. The season is open for just one more week.
Many state and county lands have seasonal closures for various reason whether it be for nesting raptors, upland birds, sensitive habitat, etc. Hunters have seasons and regulations to abide by as do anglers. Just because you have to purchase a license/stamp to use an area it doesn't mean that one gets carte blanche. Be patient and learn to share, In the grand scheme of life these are minor inconveniences. In the end, if everyone still finds this situation distasteful and and unacceptable, I suggest that you write to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission: dnr_cpwcommiss...@state.co.us, since they have been tasked by the state legislature to manage wildlife issues in our state. My opinion is the state legislature might currently have bigger issues to deal with.
