Mentored Hunts for Women

Women Afield Program

All applicants, including youth and families with hunting experience will be considered for program participation; however, priority will be given to novice participants that meet eligibility requirements. If you have participated in a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Hunter Outreach Program for a specific species, you are not eligible to apply for that same species.

Women may apply to participate in a mentored hunt, if they meet the following requirements:

  • Are a Colorado resident
  • Age 18 or older
  • Have little to no hunting experience
  • Have completed a hunter education course. Apprentice hunter certificates will not be accepted.

Apply for a Hunt

The program focuses on educating the novice hunter in the field which may or may not result in harvesting an animal during the hunt. Hunts take place between May 1st and July 15th of each year.
