"When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes - remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education - make them hunters."

Henry David Thoreau, 1854


“A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it.” - Robert Boatman

DOW offering Huntmaster training this weekend


The Colorado Division Of Wildlife is hosting a two-day seminar on Huntmaster training Saturday and Sunday at the Northwest Regional headquarters, 711 Independent Ave.

Huntmasters are volunteers who have completed the special training and then pass their knowledge on to people who are beginning hunters or maybe never hunted before but want to learn.

You don’t have to be a Huntmaster to make a difference. Trained volunteers are needed as photographers, shooting instructors, cooks, registration officials and more. Interested volunteers may receive additional training to become certified Huntmasters.

The weekend Huntmaster training simulates a two-day hunt and prospective Huntmasters eat, sleep and work at the training site to get a realistic feeling for what the program demands.

Information about the weekend training seminar is available online here
