Outdoor California Magazine

December 20,  2018

Question: My hunter education instructor showed me a copy of a magazine put out by your department. It included some really amazing wildlife photography, which I think was part of a contest. Where I can get a copy of the magazine? (Christine)

Answer: Thank you for asking (and congratulations on passing your Hunter Ed class!)! Outdoor California has been published by CDFW since 1945. It’s published six times per year and is available by subscription. The cost is $15 annually. For more information, please call (916) 322-8911.

The Wildlife Photograph of the Year Contest is presented in conjunction with California Watchable Wildlife and is sponsored by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy. Entries are accepted year-round, with winners announced in each magazine beginning in the March/April issue. A grand prize winner is selected by the CDFW director each January. Photographs must show a California native species in its natural habitat, with special consideration given to images at California Watchable Wildlife viewing sites and in the Sierra Nevada. You can find more information, including maps, photo guidelines and terms of use, at www.cawatchablewildlife.org/photos2018/rules.php.
