SCURRILOUS POLITICS OR ?
The current argument in Nevada
about whether a Governor should appoint an advocate of "managing"
wildlife or an advocate of "saving" wildlife to a State Wildlife
Commission is a scenario being replayed all over the nation. The gross
stereotypes and character assassinations are part and parcel of the scenario,
and the hidden agendas and distortions of facts present in one article would
take pages to decipher. The following brief explanation is based on 30

Idaho hunters have same problems as Nevada hunters The problem here in Idaho is the same as Nevada and most other western states I have hunted in. Lots of talk but nothing generally gets done to actually increase game numbers. Here are some suggestions, which probably won’t get implemented to rectify the problem.
Mule deer draft plan management goals
In this entry I will be referring to management goals by number and give opinions on sample strategies.

Erroneous statements concerning bighorn sheep and domestic sheep in recent news articles. Two recent news articles
described Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) efforts to transplant bighorn

story about transplanting bighorn sheep from Churchill
County to Mount
Grant in Mineral County.

Nevada Mule Deer Succumb To Fatal Political Disease We're gathered here today to mourn the passing of our once great figurehead,
the beloved Nevada
mule deer herd. It saddens many of us to witness the passing of such a
great icon. The mule deer has enriched our Nevada heritage and bonded us together for
generations. With its passing a special part of each of us is also
passing into the hereafter.

The whole truth and nothing but the truth
A
rebuttal to Dave Rice's article which appeared in the Reno Gazette Journal,
January 25, 2008
I
read with interest your article in the Reno Gazette Journal,
January 25, 2008, concerning Nevada's
declining deer population.
I
do not know whom the NDOW expert, Biologist Mike Cox is, but he is a long way
from knowing or telling the "real story" of what went
on during the big deer years in Nevada.
If he thinks that the main reason for the decline ... Read More >> |

Goldfield Black Bear Incident
I
recently read an article in the Tonopah Times Bonanza & Goldfield News
about a black bear that was found wandering around Goldfield eating what it
could find. The bear spent the night on
the porch of a local judge's house until someone called the Nevada Department
of Wildlife (NDOW) and an officer was sent from Reno to capture the bear. That is nothing out of the ordinary for this
area if you don't count the fact that an NDOW officer responded in a timely
manner. ... Read More >> |

Wildlife Commissioners desert Nevada Deer Hunters
In the 2001 Legislative
session, HUNTER'S ALERT, working with Nevada Hunters Association and
Assemblyman Jerry Claborn were successful in passing Assembly Bill 291. This
bill enacted a $3.00 predator fee for every big game tag that hunters applied
for. It should be noted that no other so-called sportsmen's organization helped
in the passage of this bill which was desperately needed to restore our deer.

It's time to get mad, get involved or forget it! We are going to lay out in
this editorial what has been happening to all fish and game agencies for many
years. Let's start out with the Golden Rule, as everyone knows he who has the
gold, makes the rules. This is exactly what is going on with the funding of all
fish and game departments.

How far are you willing to go? As far as I can see, that
depends on which side of the fence you are located. That fence can be any of a number of topics
or causes. The fence (or more apply "the
wall") I have been trying to climb is the US
vs. THEM fence of the
sportsman/hunters versus the environmental/animal rights zealots.

Did you know? If a lion is caught in a trap, NDOW expects the trapper to throw his coat over the lion and then proceed to release the lion. Hard to believe, but true. Read More >> |

Another first A mountain lion was spotted in the McCullough Range during the last sheep season. Get ready for the extermination of sheep in that area. What will the sheep clubs, NDOW or the Wildlife Commission which is loaded with sheep club members, do about this? Absolutely nothing! So, as usual, let the lions wipe out the sheep in yet another area. So much for these people caring about the desert bighorn sheep. Read More >> |

HUNTER’S ALERT PREDICTS! Remember you read it first in HUNTER’S ALERT! For the last five years, the excuse for the declining Nevada deer population has been wildfires. The next excuse will be the bad winter of 2007-2008. Of course, predators will never be mentioned. Read More >> |
