​​​​​​​​Now Comes the Fun Part!​

You’ve just taken hunter education. Congratulations! Colorado Parks and Wildlife knows that hunters need to develop knowledge and skills to be successful. But for a new hunter, confidence is just as important.

That’s why CPW has partnered with Pheasants Forever to develop the Novice Hunter Program​.

NHP students spend a full day with CPW staff and​ volunteers learning about pheasant hunting strategies, laws, regulations and how to safely handle shotguns in the field. Students w​ill also receive instruction in shotgun shooting at a private trap range.

Later in the fall, students can sign up for mentored dove and pheasant hunts led by CPW staff and trained volunteers – and they can hunt on their own in areas leased just for the program.

To be eligible, students must be at least 12 years old and have successfully completed a CPW hunter education course on or after Jan. 1, 2012. The program is free but space is limited. Register online for these classes and other outreach events.

​ For more information, call Bryan Posthumus, the Northeast Region’s Hunting and Angling Outreach Coordinator, at (303) 291-7291.​
