Women's Hunter Education Experience & Beyond

More than Gatherers is not your average hunter's education course.

More Than Gatherers is a fully immersive experience over two weekends that will include a full certification in hunter education (including rifle handling), and a deep dive into hunting skills, philosophies, conservation of wildlife, community building, and food.

This is a safe space to be a beginner, a curious learner, and a member of an ever-growing community of women who have picked up hunting in their adult years. This experience is planned and taught by an all-female cast from around the state; some of them seasoned hunters and some of them brand new.

By the end of this course, you will not know everything about hunting, but you will: 

  • Know who to ask for help

  • Build a great community

  • Have the skills to "pull the trigger"
