People with an interest in hunting, fishing or the outdoors can stay current on what's happening in Oklahoma's outdoors by subscribing to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's weekly news release. The service is free, and people can sign up by logging on to the Department's Web site at http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/wl_news.htm.
News stories each week provide subscribers with information on everything from fishing and hunting news to eagle and bat-watching activities, and they refer readers to additional sources of information on certain topics relating to Oklahoma's outdoors. Put simply, the Department's weekly news stories provide readers with important, timely information that Oklahoma outdoorsmen need to know.<br />
Subscribers not only receive updates on the latest Department news and outdoor-related tips and information, but they also receive the Department's weekly Outdoor Calendar, Fishing Report and other seasonal information such as the Waterfowl Report.<br />
Now is an especially good time for duck and goose hunters to subscribe to the news release because of the Waterfowl Report, which provides recent information on waterfowl populations and habitat at lakes all over the state. It can make planning a hunt much easier since hunters can get an idea of what to expect at their favorite spot as well as those places they've never visited or hunted.<br />
"The weekly news release is designed to keep people informed, and the Waterfowl Report is just one part of it that could provide an advantage to hunters," said Nels Rodefeld, Information and Education chief at the Wildlife Department. "Oklahomans have no shortage of opportunities to learn and enhance their outdoor experiences, but they need to have access to the dates, locations and other important details of these events. The Department's weekly news release not only provides this information, but it delivers it in plenty of time to plan to attend an activity."<br />
In addition to current events and other outdoor news, the weekly release provides an Outdoor Calendar that gives a detailed outlook on a variety of outdoor-related events taking place across the state. Activities designed to educate people on wildlife and to hone their outdoor skills take place all year long, and annual events such as tackle shows and the Wildlife Expo provide endless entertainment.<br />
"The news release is truly a great tool for anyone who appreciates wildlife in our state," Rodefeld said. "Oklahoman's should really take advantage of this kind of resource, as well as any of the various resources provided by the Department that might apply to them."<br />
