Ice fishing season is officially here, and we have a few outings planned for you ladies!

With waterfowl season in full swing, we have been putting together a waterfowl clinic for you ladies! The original plan was to do a classroom day in person, a shooting day, and a couple days in the field. However, COVID has recently put Routt County under a “Level Red/Severe Risk” order, and we have decided to do a virtual clinic instead.

We have teamed up with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Colorado Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. Because waterfowl hunting has many different regulations, season dates, species to hunt, and different hunting tactics, we felt it was important to create this opportunity for people who are interested in waterfowl hunting. The first hour will be hosted by Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers covering the many laws and regulations, hunting access, species identification, and proper shotgun handling. After a quick break, and time for questions, we will pass the torch over to our friends from Colorado BHA to teach us about hunting tactics, calling, and gear.

We are so excited for this event, and hope that now it is virtual, more people will be able to attend, and will be inspired to hit the field for the remainder of the waterfowl season. This event is free, and all are welcome to join! Having your Hunter Education certification is NOT required to attend, for we feel this would be a great opportunity for those who are looking at getting into hunting.

To register, use the link below that will direct you to the official CPW registration system.

With fall hunting season right around the corner, we want to help you get prepared by hosting this Navigation Clinic! We are so excited to team up with Steamboat Springs local, Andrea Grygo, who has been getting into bow hunting these last couple of years.

This clinic will cover the basics of navigating the woods and map reading, both important tools to enhance safety in the wilderness and being successful during hunting season. These skills can be used throughout the summer as you are scouting your units and figuring out where that big bull is going to be.

For this clinic we will be hiking Hahn’s Peak, located North of Steamboat Springs in Clark, Colorado. This hike will be a great learning experience, and is a staple to Steamboat Springs.

When people think of turkey hunting, a lot of people don’t think about hunting these guys here in Colorado. Along with a wide range of wildlife, both merriam and rio grande turkeys can be found lurking in our woods. With only a few short weeks before spring turkey season, we decided to put together a women’s turkey hunting clinic with Colorado Parks & Wildlife!

If you have always wanted to go turkey hunting, or would just simply like to learn more about the subject, join us at the Colorado Parks & Wildlife office in Steamboat Springs on Tuesday, March 24th from 6pm-9pm alongside other women, including CPW’s Education and Hunter Outreach Coordinator, Kathleen Tadvick. Turkey hunting season runs from April 11th through May 31st. We want to make sure you are properly prepared for the season, and provide you with the best tips, tricks, and tactics on how to bag these big, beautiful gobblers. We will also go over rules and regulations to hunting turkeys in Colorado, as well as unit and tag opportunities.

By attending this clinic, you will receive first priority to sign up and attend our ladies weekend turkey hunt in May! More details will be announced on the night of the clinic before we open it up to the rest of the public. We will also be doing a few giveaways to promote enthusiasm for turkey hunting and being a part of Rocky Mountain Sportswomen.

In order to attend this clinic, you must RSVP below, and have purchased your annual habitat stamp, to show your support for CPW’s efforts. Anyone between the ages of 18 an 64 must buy a stamp in order to buy or apply for a hunting or fishing license.

For more information on the Habitat Stamp, or if you still need to purchase one, visit the Colorado Parks & Wildlife website. You may also purchase one at checkout when you buy your annual fishing license, or turkey tag!
