Description: It can be hard for women to find a mentor in the hunting world. Taylor Gutierrez is changing that. Taylor grew up in Colorado where grabbing an elk tag on a free weekend was just... a thing people do. She didn't realize how rare that was until she started teaching women who are brand-new to hunting and have no idea where to start. This conversation is part draw system deep-dive, part honest guide to how women can get into Western hunting without it being weird or unsafe.We get into Colorado's point system—elk, pronghorn, the big three—and what the 2028 OTC and Northwest corner changes actually mean for hunters at different point levels. From there Taylor talks through her work with Uncharted Outdoors Women and why education-first programs are in such high demand from women who want to learn but don't know who to trust.What we cover:• Why Colorado residents still have serious OTC and leftover opportunity—and how to use it• Point creep in the Northwest corner and what the 2028 changes mean for 30+ point elk holders• The pronghorn trap: a perfect starter hunt, but good rifle tags now take 5+ points• How Taylor got a 14-point pronghorn tag off the leftover list and tagged out in 27 minutes• Why solo elk hunting is a bad idea—and how to find the right hunting partners as a woman• What women's elk camp actually looks like and why it sells out fastIf this one was useful, hit follow so you don't miss the next one—and share it with someone who's been saying "I want to go out West someday."Stay Ahead of Hunting Season with the Drawn West Newsletter.Get practical emails on deadlines, draw strategy, new episodes, and giveawayupdates.Join Here: https://www.getdrawnwest.com/newsletterLooking for more content from Drawn West?
