Women's Big Game 101 with Andraya


A 3 day introduction to hunting clinic, focusing on the basics of scouting and navigation. $750

Having grown up in a family reliant on living off the land, I’ve been hunting ever since I was 12 years old. For the past five years I have been a professional guide, focusing on big game in the west. Having a deep and personal relationship with hunting I aim to help educate others and share experiences of the wild through guiding and clinics such as this. Ladies, please join myself along with likeminded women as I teach you the skills and knowledge I have acquired over the years. During these three days you’ll learn the basic’s needed to hunt or to become the hunter you desire to be. This is a boots on the ground style clinic located on Bear Creek Outfitters private property, outside of Paonia Colorado. Lodging and food is provided along with multiple giveaways to help aid you in the field, from companies such as, Mtn Ops, Wilderness Athlete, Factory Outdoor & Glenwood Springs Outdoors, and more!
