STOCKING STUFFERS AT NDOW

If you’re hunting for some holiday gift ideas for the sportsman or wildlife enthusiast on your list, the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) has some suggestions for you. The following items are available at NDOW offices and are free of charge.

• “How to Fish in Nevada,” written by expert anglers, provides a beginner with “how-to’s” on everything from knot tying to fishing techniques. Experts and beginners alike will appreciate this book written just for Nevada anglers by Nevada anglers.
• Full-color Fishable Waters Maps direct anglers to all of the waters in the state by region (western, southern, and eastern). This valuable tool also notes which species can be found in which water. These free maps may be just what the angler on your list needs to explore some new territory in Nevada.
• “The Chukar Partridge,” by retired wildlife biologist Glen C. Christensen, is the definitive work on chukar partridge in Nevada. In its pages the sportsman or woman will find a detailed history of how this challenging bird came to the Silver State and quickly became its most popular upland game bird. Hunters seeking to know more about finding chukar and about their behavior will find that information in this 79-page publication as well.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, and 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.
