stuffer for the outdoor enthusiast in your family, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Outdoor Store is just the place for you.

"The Department's Outdoor Store has something for just about everybody," said Nels Rodefeld, information and education assistant chief for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "Whether your friends or family enjoy hunting, fishing or bird watching, there are some greatpresents for the outdoor enthusiast."

Department's Oklahoma City and Tulsa-area offices.

Department's official bi-monthly magazine, 'Outdoor Oklahoma.' Six issues packed with stunning photography and informative articles will be delivered right to your loved one's door for only $10 a year.

No outdoor enthusiast's yard is complete without a birdhouse. Not sure

what type of bird she would want to attract? No problem. For $18, the

Dial-a-Bird house's unique design has a rotating entry hole. Set the hole

to one of three sizes to attract species like the tiny chickadee or the

medium-sized tufted titmouse or the larger bluebird.

Know someone who spends spring and fall seasons working in the yard and loves watching wildlife? The Department's book, 'Landscaping for Wildlife,' outlines steps any landowner can take to turn a yard into a

wildlife haven. It is 200-plus pages of full-color photographs, diagrams

and charts. For $20, it provides details about what to plant and build to

attract birds, ducks, butterflies, frogs, turtles and a host of other

wildlife.

Rodefeld said that one of five Wildlife Conservation vehicle license plates is the perfect gift for that spouse who already has every hunting or fishing gadget ever made. Choose from white-tailed deer, scissor-tailed flycatcher, largemouth bass, bobwhite quail or the turkey plates. The plates cost just $25 above your regular annual registration fee, and the best part is that $20 of this cost is earmarked for Oklahoma's Wildlife Diversity Program. Applications for the unique tags can be picked up at any local tag agents and the plates can be customized for no extra charge.

The "Bobwhite Quail in Oklahoma" handbook is for quail enthusiasts of all

kinds - hunters, landowners and do-it-yourself game managers. This

40-page, full-color booklet contains tips for habitat improvements and

everything you should know about the natural history of Oklahoma's most

popular upland game bird.

Fishing publications, caps and birdhouses are just a few of the other

items found at the Outdoor Store. Pictures and a detailed description of

each item are included on the Internet, or go check out the items for

yourself at the Department's Oklahoma City and Tulsa offices.
