“Shell”ebrate Spring by Adopting a Desert Tortoise
AZGFD has over 100 desert tortoises that need forever homes
When we asked the Easter Bunny to include some desert tortoises in his Easter basket deliveries, he said the only shells he deals with are on the eggs! So now, we’re asking you directly. The Desert Tortoise Adoption Program at the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) currently has over 100 non-releasable desert tortoises that need forever homes. The tortoises will soon wake up from brumation, so it’s the perfect time to get your burrow built and your adoption application submitted. Everything you need to know about the adoption process, burrow-building and tortoise care can be found at azgfd.gov/tortoise.
Wildlife biologists at AZGFD are currently caring for over 100 surrendered desert tortoises that would jump (or at least crawl enthusiastically) at the chance to join your family this spring. Each year, AZGFD cares for hundreds of captive desert tortoises that have been turned into the state or abandoned as a result of illegal breeding. It’s not safe for these tortoises to be released back into the wild—captive tortoises can harbor respiratory infections that could be devastating to the wild population—so the AZGFD Desert Tortoise Adoption Program looks after them, but space and resources are limited. That’s where you come in: In addition to getting a great pet, Arizona residents have a unique opportunity to help protect our state’s desert wildlife by welcoming a desert tortoise to their home.

Build a Better Herd with Ani-Logics Outdoors
Spring is here, bringing a surge of green forage—but not all vegetation is created equal when it comes to enhancing deer nutrition. Many regions experience a bloom of cool-season grasses that are high in fiber yet low in protein, making them less desirable for deer. To truly support a thriving herd, hunters and land managers need targeted solutions that maximize nutritional value.
Ani-Logics Outdoors offers a range of scientifically designed food plot blends that transform grassy areas into rich feeding grounds. Pro Clover is a top-tier option featuring fast-growing, highly nutritious clovers that establish quickly and benefit deer populations. For drier regions like ridge tops, Clover Plus Alfalfa excels in moisture-limited environments. Landowners struggling with minimal sunlight can opt for Clover Plus Chicory, which thrives with as little as four hours of sunlight daily. Holy Clover, with its deep taproot and alfalfa-like growth, is an excellent choice for drought-prone areas.
The durability of these perennial blends ensures sustained browse tolerance, making them ideal for small food plots tucked near bedding areas. Notably, Tiffany Lakosky harvested one of her biggest bucks over a Pro Clover field last fall, highlighting the success of Ani-Logics Outdoors products.
As temperatures rise throughout the growing season, Pro Bean Blend emerges as the perfect dual-purpose solution—offering both lush green forage in summer and high-energy pods for fall and winter sustenance. With a mix of five different maturities, some beans will remain green until late season, while others prioritize pod production. Additionally, its glyphosate tolerance allows for easy weed management. Read more
