Wildlife-themed gift ideas the whole family can enjoy
The Arizona Game and Fish Department has a variety of holiday gift ideas that are affordable, unique, and definitely more enticing to your outdoor enthusiast family members and friends than the traditional fruit cake or tie.

For starters, how about giving a subscription to Arizona Wildlife Views magazine, now available at a special low price? (See article above). Other great gift ideas include:

“Arizona Wildlife Viewing Guide” – Arizona provides some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in the nation. More than 900 animal species and 50 million public acres of natural land are open to explore. In this guide you’ll be treated to beautiful photographs of wildlife viewing sites and the magnificent animals that you can see at some 128 unique places across the state. Readers always enjoy tips for wildlife watching, the rating system that highlights “can’t miss” locations, site descriptions and driving directions. The book can be purchased for $14.95 at the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s seven statewide offices and online at the department’s website www.azgfd.gov/publications.

Arizona Lifetime Fishing and Hunting Licenses – As a lifetime license holder, you are entitled to fish and hunt in Arizona for your lifetime, even if you move out of Arizona. No more worrying about last-minute license purchases, expiration deadlines, license fee increases or residency requirements. Privileges are retained for life. License holders are still responsible for purchasing either resident or nonresident big game tags, permits or stamps as required by law. For more information, visit www.azgfd.gov/eservices/licenses.shtml and click on the lifetime license link. License fees may vary.

Sponsor-a-Turtle Program – Support Arizona’s turtle conservation by sponsoring a turtle in the name of a friend or loved one. There are several suggested contribution levels that provide support for varying types of research. All sponsors will receive a Turtles Project sponsor kit, which includes a personalized sponsorship certificate and a photo of a turtle in the chosen sponsorship level. Visit www.azgfd.gov/turtles for more information.
