Women's Hunt Program

 

Empowering Women in the Outdoors

Across the country, more and more women are discovering the rewards of hunting and fishing — from harvesting healthy, free-range meat to enjoying outdoor adventures that bring families together.

Yet, women remain underrepresented in the field. California Waterfowl’s Women’s Hunt Program is changing that by offering opportunities tailored specifically for women of all experience levels. From first-time hunters to seasoned outdoorswomen, our events provide a welcoming, supportive environment to learn, connect, and grow.

At our beginner-friendly hunts, all gear — including firearms — is provided, making it easy to focus on the experience, the camaraderie, and the excitement of time afield.
