- Beyond Becoming an Outdoors Woman workshops build on beginner skills, teach more advanced skills and may be conducted almost entirely in an outdoors setting.

QUALIFICATIONS TO APPLY FOR THE 2022 DEER HUNT
The Beyond BOW deer hunts are intended to introduce and teach novices about deer hunting.

For purposes of eligibility for these hunts, a novice deer hunter is defined as: a person who has harvested no more than 2 deer and/or other big game animal (elk, antelope, bear, moose, etc.) in their lifetime. All applicants must certify that they are a novice deer hunter or a novice deer hunter that meets the criteria stated while attending a BBOW by signing the statement on the application.
- You must be a Novice Deer Hunter and meet the novice requirements to apply for this hunt.
- You MUST have taken the Firearms and Firearm Safety course at a previous BOW or taken the Hunter Certification Course offered by the state.
- Additionally, you must have taken the Bucks and Does Course (once called Intro To Deer Hunting) at a previous BOW or Mini BOW.
