FALL WILDLIFE ALMANAC NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

Did you know that the number of bears encroaching on urban areas is way down this year? Do you know the hot spots for fall fishing? Did you hear that a 75-year-old hunter drew an antelope, bighorn, elk and deer tag and wound up out in the field for over two months?

If you were unaware of any of these facts, its time you checked out the 2008 Fall Wildlife Almanac online at on the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) website at www.ndow.org.

Other stories in the quarterly online publication include coverage of the 6th annual Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Youth Waterfowl Expo, a Nevada organization that helps disabled hunters get back out in field, tips and information on upland game hunting, a Q1 Bond update and a story on what volunteers are doing to bring back an aspen population decimated by fire.

The almanac is also sent out to NDOW customers who have subscribed to receive Department of Wildlife news and updates. If you are interested in receiving information on hunting, fishing or wildlife, you can go to http://www.ndow.org/subs/subs.asp and subscribe to one or all of the email lists.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW’s wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen’s license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear. Support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org.
