New option for giving the gift of hunting, trapping and fishing, or donating

Indiana DNR Release:

A new way of gift giving is available to please the hunter, trapper, angler or general lover of the outdoors with the DNR’s new option of purchasing licenses for others. Making donations to various outdoor funds while buying such licenses is also a new convenient option.

Gift certificates are available for purchase online (www.IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov) or at a DNR property that sells hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses, and are only valid for those types of licenses. Individuals can buy a gift certificate while purchasing their own hunting, fishing, or trapping license either online or at a DNR property by choosing that new option . For buying only a gift certificate, users should click on the gift certificate link at the same Web address.

People purchasing such licenses now also have the automatic option of donating to four different funds as part of the process. The Natural Resources Foundation helps buy land and restore habitat for recreation. The Sportman’s Benevolence Fund helps provide meals to Indiana’s less fortunate. The Non-game Fund helps Indiana's endangered and nongame wildlife. TIP (Turn in a Poacher Fund) helps fight poaching and environmental crimes in the state.

To make only a donation (and not purchase a license) see http://www.in.gov/dnr/5766.htm.
