About the Club
Thirty years of getting up before the birds
We're a small group of hunters who lease private farmland across Northern Colorado and chase Canada geese the old way — decoys on the ground, pits dug in, calls in hand.
Honker Nation started in 1993 with three leased fields, a beat-up pickup, a pile of decoys we called the junkyard spread, and one goal: shoot birds. No trailers, no custom pits, no high-dollar gear — just ground the geese wanted to use and hunters willing to be cold to earn it.
Thirty years later the junkyard spread is gone. Today we run full-body decoy spreads, dug-in pit blinds with custom lids, and a scouting program that reads the fields every morning before first light. The gear got better because the geese got smarter — and so did we.
What hasn't changed is the lease list. Our fields sit across Weld, Larimer, and Morgan counties — corn, wheat, and sugar beet ground the birds hammer on their way through the front range. Every hunt is on private land we hold the keys to. No walk-ins, no crowds, no racing another outfit to the roost.
Cold mornings, honest work, and geese that make you earn every shot.

From the field
A taste of the season — spreads at first light, working birds, and retrieves that make the whole thing worth it.
