Women's Hunt Program

Women's participation in hunting and fishing in America is growing rapidly, fueled in large part by their desire for healthy, free-range meat and outdoor activities that can include the whole family.

But women's participation still lags behind men's. California Waterfowl's Women's Hunt Program helps address that deficit with a wide variety of events for novice outdoorswomen in supportive environments, as well as events for women of all experience levels.

For novice events, gear - including firearms - is provided. The camaraderie happens all on its own!

If you have questions, please contact Jeff Smith at 530-305-9234 or jsmith@calwaterfowl.org
