Mentored Hunts for Women

Women Afield is a program dedicated to teaching women basic hunting, shooting sport, and angling skills in a comfortable environment. Woman Afield offers seminars and clinics designed to teach basic skills in the classroom, on the range, and on mentored hunts with plenty of “hands on” experience.

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

Participants may be required to complete classroom instruction/range qualification prior to going on a hunt opportunity. Range qualification sessions will typically occur on a weekend in the greater Denver Area. Participants may use a program firearm, however bringing your own or borrowing from family members is highly encouraged.
