The Wyoming Women's Antelope Hunt, hosted by the Wyoming Women's Foundation, will be held Oct. 9-12, 2014 in northeastern Wyoming. The Wyoming Women's Foundation created the hunt to promote camaraderie and mentorship through hunting while raising awareness of and funds for the Foundation's mission to improve the economic self-sufficiency of women in the state.  Female hunters of all experience levels are encouraged to attend the weekend hunt which emphasizes safe and responsible hunting. During this guided hunt on private and public land, more experienced hunters are paired with women who have little experience with hunting.

According to spokesperson Rebekah Smith, if this year's hunt is anything like last year's, it will be a huge success: "Leading the way as the first event of its kind for women, the inaugural Wyoming Women's Antelope Hunt was a huge success in 2013. Hunters came from across Wyoming and the nation to participate, including prominent leaders like Wyoming Supreme Court Chief Justice Marilyn Kite, who helped found the hunt. Of the 34 total hunters in 2013, 32 harvested antelope and seven women harvested for the first time.
