Hunting programs for women, youths

The deadline to participate in Colorado Parks and Wildlife hunting programs for women and youths is Aug. 1.

The Hunter Outreach Program is for women and youths interested in learning how to hunt big or small game – including deer, elk, pronghorn, upland birds or waterfowl.

The Hunter Outreach Program provides guidance and mentorships to novice women and youth hunters through various clinics, workshops, seminars and private-land hunts that instill the knowledge, skills, ethics and traditions of hunting, according to a Parks and Wildlife news release.

The Women Afield Program is designed to allow novice hunters and anglers to learn alongside other women in a comfortable environment. The program’s summertime seminars and clinics cover basic shooting, fishing and archery skills in the classroom or range with plenty of “hands-on” experience.

The Youth Hunting Program also provides inexperienced hunters between the ages of 10 and 17 with a variety of clinics and seminars. The mentoring and guidance provided during the clinics and hunts is designed to ensure that they have a positive, outdoor experience that can lead to a lifelong respect and enjoyment of the outdoors.
