Field Identification Guide Provides More Information

As a responsible hunter, you should educate yourself about wildlife prior to your hunt. The ability to accurately identify species will make you a better hunter and will increase the enjoyment of your hunting experience.

The publication Today's Wildlife gives the identifying characteristics, habitat and range of most of the wildlife you may encounter.

Remember

No North American animal has become extinct because of sport hunting.
