Just about the time you figured NDOW Director Will Mofini and the Wildlife Commission had inflicted all the damage they could to the hunters in our state, they have proved us wrong. They have stooped to a new low by aligning themselves with a well-known antihunting organization. Defenders of Wildlife was formed to protect predators. By protecting predators, there is no need for hunting or hunters. Here are some of the Defenders of Wildlife's comments.

Just six years ago, HUNTER'S ALERT was formed by a very small group of people who enjoyed hunting and fishing in our state. We could see our favorite pastime was going downhill. We also realized that the people responsible for this decline did not have the knowledge or perhaps lacked the intestinal fortitude to correct the problem.

Since HUNTER'S ALERT was founded we have informed our readers about the strong antihunting movement One group, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has over a quarter million members. This alone should scare you. They are only one of many antihunting groups who will not quit until all hunting has been stopped.

HUNTER'S ALERT has hired a full time lobbyist to represent our interests during the 1995 Legislative Session and during the campaign process. Warren B. Hardy, a fellow sportsman and former State Assemblyman has been retained. Warren's knowledge of the legislative process, combined with his firm commitment to our cause will make him a valuable part of our team.

During his legislative career, Warren was a firm supporter of HUNTER'S ALERT Warren is currently in the process of developing ...

In September of this year I made a hunting trip to South Africa. Upon my return home, I recounted to my friends and family the enjoyment, excitement, and great hunting experience I had. After they left, I was relaxing and reminiscing about the hunt when a thought crossed my mind. "Why did I have to travel to Africa to hunt?" It wasn't the exotic animals, the excitement of travel, or hopes for adventure. It was the hunt itself. The love of hunting and being able to hunt hired me to a country ...

The state of California has proven to be the leading state to "protect predators". After all, they were the first state to protect a non-endangered big game predator, the mountain Son. Now their director wants to make it extremely difficult to hunt another predator, bear. Following are excerpts from a statement issued by Boyd Gibbons, Director of California Department of Fish and Game.

Mahlon Brown is chairman of Nevada's Board of Wildlife Commissioners. He was appointed by Governor Miller and is supposed to represent the sportsmen of Nevada, He is an attorney who has hunted very little. If he were out in the field he would know how the mountain lion has decimated our once famous Nevada deer herds. He would also know that in the last fifteen years the mountain lion has increased in numbers from 600 to over 1600. He should also know that there were only 204 mountain lion ki...

Below are excerpts reprinted from a story in the Las Vegas Review Journal, September 14,1993:

Estimates of the wild duck population by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service indicate another bad year for waterfowl The number of breeding ducks declined by 11 percent in 1993.. .Population declines have been attributed to severe drought and loss of wetlands throughout the North American continent, but recent studies at various wetlands indicate predators (emphasis added) may be having a severe ...

If you were one of the 16221 people who drew a deer tag this year you had reason to celebrate. Just five yean ago there were 57,134 deer tags available to the hunters in our state. To put it another way, we have lost 72% of our available deer tags in just five yean. In addition, the money generated from those tags is also lost. This not only hurts game programs but private business as well. HUNTER'S ALERT checked with some of the Southern Nevada taxidermists and meat processing plants. Here ...

Newell, "Newt" Bundy has been a cowboy all his Me. Most of this fife has been spent in Nevada and Southern Utah. With so much time spent outdoors, Newt has seen the changes. Here are excerpts from his testimony given about the desert tortoise.

Anyone who has attended Board of Wildlife Commission meetings has seen Tom Atkinson, Chief Game Warden for Division of Wildlife, put license revocations on almost every agenda. Indeed, game violators should be brought to justice but a standard set of rules must be applied to all.

...Isn't the director of NDOW doing something about the serious predator problem in our state? ..Are ducks still on the decline? Steel shot which hunters have been using for years, was supposed to be the cure for the dwindling duck population? ...Did Nevada Bighorns Unlimited offer a $2000 reward for those responsible for the illegal killing of one elk, but donated nothing as a reward in the massacre of 13 bighorn sheep?

We are continuing to receive comments from disgruntled sportsmen throughout our state. You are reinforcing our belief that we have serious problems within Nevada Department of Wildlife. It is just too bad that Governor Miller, NDOW director Will Molini, and the Board of Wildlife Commissioners refuse to address this pitiful situation. But remember, next year we can change that by removing Governor Miller from office.

...Just prior to hunting season NDOW removed chukar from Clark County and planted them in Lincoln County?

...At an Interim Finance Committee meeting, NDOW director Will Molini was told about the decimation of our deer herds by mountain lions. Mr. Molini's reply was, "Why we are just lucky to be able to hunt mountain lion. You can't hunt them at all in California." Now that's what we call solving the predator problem! ...Governor Miller is so bad that even his friend Bill Clinton hasn&...
