Unique Gifts for outdoor lovers

As Ohioans celebrate the holidays and create memories
with loved ones, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR) has great ideas for people wanting to give the gift of
the great outdoors to friends and family. Consider giving a gift
that will encourage loved ones to step away from their screens
and instead spend time outdoors enjoying nature in Ohio!
Hunting and Fishing Licenses - The newest unique gift
available from ODNR are the multiyear and lifetime hunting
and fishing licenses that went on sale in October. Want to en-
sure that your friends, children and grandchildren have lifetime
access to hunting and fishing in Ohio? Consider purchasing a
lifetime license. Purchasing a multiyear or lifetime license is a
unique gift that will be appreciated for years to come.
For the first time this year, Ohio resident hunters and anglers
can purchase multiyear and lifetime licenses. License buyers
can choose from 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and lifetime hunting
or fishing licenses. All money generated from the sale of mul-
tiyear and lifetime licenses is deposited into the Wildlife Fund,
where it will be used to protect and enhance Ohio’s wildlife
populations.
When a lifetime license or multiyear license is purchased Lu’s Pizza
as a gift, all necessary age and residency documentation must
either be presented at a wildlife office or to a notary for vali-
dation associated with the completed application at the time of
purchase.
All single-year and multiyear licenses can be purchased on-
line at Ohio’s Wildlife Licensing System and at hundreds of 935 MAIN STREET • GRAFTON
participating agents throughout the state if an Ohio driver li-
cense or state identification is associated with the customer’s
account. Those interested in purchasing a lifetime license may 926-2171
apply online or at any of the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s
five district offices or headquarters in Columbus. Locations of
ODNR Division of Wildlife offices can be found at wildohio.
