Obtaining your Hunter Education Certification is the first step to becoming a successful hunter, and is required by law. After a very successful course last year, we have once again partnered up with our friend from Colorado Parks & Wildlife, Kirsten Miller to host a private Hunter Education Course for our Rocky Mountain Sportswomen!
This course will take place at the Routt County Rifle Club in Steamboat Springs, Colorado on Saturday, March 25th 8:00am-5:00pm through Sunday, March 26th 8:00am-3:00pm with a conclusion course at the gun range. Bringing your own gun is NOT required! Colorado Parks and Wildlife will provide a rifle for each participant to use for the conclusion course. There will be a lunch break at 11:20-12:15, but we recommend bringing your own lunch so that we can stay on schedule at the Rifle Club. By completing this course you will receive your official certification and will be able to buy and apply for hunting licenses.
We are hosting this course just before the application deadline for the 2023 Colorado Big Game Draw where you can apply for specific tags to hunt in the fall. Deadline is April 5th.
This course is free to attend, however, for anyone who is not a member of the Routt County Rifle Club, there is a $5 entry fee for use of the facility for the weekend.
This course is open to both ladies and youth. For kids to attend, they must be mature enough to be able to pass the test at the end of the course. There is nothing worse than having a kid fail the course, and having that as their first impression of hunting and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. If you are confident that your child will be able to pass, Kirstin can help assist those who are still learning reading and comprehension by reading the test out loud to them.
Learning alongside other women and from a woman instructor will make this course extra fun, and will help you gain new hunting friends! Our mission at Rocky Mountain Sportswomen is to provide learning opportunities for hunting and fishing more accessible for women, and to help create a community of new friends in the outdoor world. We will also be doing a few giveaways at the end of the course including a couple of subscriptions to ONX Maps, and RMSW merchandise!
