Ten State Trust Lands (STL) and State Wildlife Areas (SWA) are designated youth/mentor hunting areas. The diverse habitats represented enable youth to hunt deer, elk, rabbit, pheasant, turkey, sharp-tailed grouse, waterfowl, bobwhite, scaled quail, and dove.

The property descriptions and restrictions, below, are as up-to-date as possible, but are provided here in shortened form. You should, therefore, review the State Wildlife Areas Brochure. It is a good idea, too, to contact the property's local Colorado Parks and Wildlife office (included with the property description) to learn of any late changes or temporary restrictions. Note that all properties allow mentors to hunt along with youth.
