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 more than 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 Web site, www.ndow.org.

Other stories in the quarterly online publication include coverage of the 6th annual Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge 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 department customers who have subscribed to receive Department of Wildlife news and updates.
