Five senators,
ten assemblymen,
and the next governor attend.

HUNTER'S ALERT banquets keep getting bigger and better. This shows that HUNTER'S ALERT is accurate in saying that sportsmen are not pleased with the people who manage our fish and game. Never was that more evident than at the fourth annual banquet at Arizona Charlie's.

Call it youth, call it inexperience, or call it something less kind but Wildlife Commissioner Jelindo Tiberti showed why he should not have been re-appointed to the Wildlife Commission. At the January Wildlife Commission meeting Tiberti challenged HUNTER'S ALERT to prove that Nevada Division of Wildlife had purchased $25,000 worth of books from Defenders of Wildlife, a proven antihunting organization. The majority of sportsmen in attendance wanted something done about the mountain lion in ou...

Many important things have happened since the last newsletter. HUNTER'S ALERT wants to give credit to those who deserve it and expose those who have hurt sportsmen in our state. So let's put them in their appropriate houses.

Since 1989 with the Governor Miller appointees sitting on the Wildlife Commission your hunting licenses have increased 63%! Have your wages increased 63% since 1959?

Well, guess what, good old Nevada Division of Wildlife and the Wildlife Commission are trying to do it to the sportsmen again. They are going to have a bill in the next legislative session to let the Wildlife Commission set tag and license fees. Currently, it takes the majority of the assembly, the majority of the senate and the governor to increase fees. This represents 34 elected officials. If Nevada Division of Wildlife and the Wildlife Commission had their way, it would only require the majo...

Apparently using the mathematical system invented by Louis Farrakhan(you know, 1 +1 =19, or 400,000 = 200,000), the Nevada Division of Wildlife announced a sharp increase in deer tags this year, an additional 7,000 tags, up 34 percent from last year.

Can thousands of sportsmen in our state be wrong about the Nevada Division of Wildlife? HUNTER'S ALERT doesn't think so. Below are a few of the comments we have received since our last newsletter.

By now you must realize that the people in charge of your hunting are not doing a good job. This will not change until we have a new governor who will appoint knowledgeable people to the Wildlife Commission. We still have two more years before this happens so the only way sportsmen can make changes is to elect people who are willing to pass laws for the betterment of hunters. For this reason it is extremely important that first, you register to vote. Second, Vote for pro-hunting candidates. Foll...

Reprinted from the Elko Daily Free Press, Elko, Nevada, Friday, April 19, 1996, Barbwire column:

Jerry Smith of the Nevada Department of Wildlife this week asked hunters to consider participating in his agency's new extortion scheme (aka Partnership in Wildlife, second chance drawing, pig in a poke, etc.) to provide a "long-term source of revenue for future management of Nevada's game animals and fish." We strongly disagree with Smith and recommend hunters boycott the phony deal and deman...

If you think the Wildlife Commission and the Nevada Division of Wildlife are your saviors on fish and game matters, you are wrong. They have shown that public input and county advisory board recommendations don't count. The proof of the pudding is in the taste. Look at what has happened to our game situation in the last eight years.

Is protecting an incompetent administrator more important than bringing back our game?

ANSWER

If it is for political reasons, the answer is yes. If it is for the sportsmen of our state, the answer is absolutely no.

At last, someone in the Nevada Division of Wildlife has the nerve to stand up and make a statement about the mountain lion. At the May 4 Wildlife Commission meeting, biologist Stan Stiver made the following statement: "In rough calculations, the folks that say that mountain lions take a lot more deer than hunters do are absolutely correct. I mean mountain lions probably take ten times the number than hunters do." Now HUNTER'S ALERT asks the following: Why didn't the Wildlife Commissioner...

HUNTER'S ALERT asked some of the members of the Clark County game advisory board this question: Prior to Mahlon Brown and Jelindo Tiberti being appointed to the Wildlife Commission, how many county game advisory board meetings did they attend? The answer: To the best of our knowledge, none.
