At last some new appointments to the Wildlife Commission who have some idea of what's going on! During Bob Miller's ten years of miserable leadership, he did not appoint knowledgeable people to the Wildlife Commission. Because of this, we have lost the majority of our deer, are about to have the sage hen go on the threatened or endangered list and have many areas where our state animal, the desert bighorn sheep are declining.

A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE October 1999 Chet Friday, Folsom, California

The afternoon of August 31, 1999 found me grocery shopping in Elko in preparation for my muzzle loader deer hunt in the East Humboldt Range, just south of Wells, Nevada. While pushing my shopping cart through the store aisles, I noticed a large, heavy-set gentleman wearing a shirt with several mountain lions elegantly embroidered on it. To me, the shirt seemed to impart a special merit to lions, as to infer that they were somehow...

In order to straighten out the mess that former NDOW administrator Willie Molini left behind, sportsmen will require four separate things. One, a governor who cares about sportsmen, Two, some knowledgeable Wildlife commissioners, Three, a new direction in NDOW, and Four, getting some bills passed at the legislature.

"Thank you for your efforts to help those of us who hunt and make our living on the land." F.J., Ely

"I will always support HUNTER'S ALERT as long as you do not get in bed with any government agencies such as NDOW, Forest Service, BLM etc. I no longer support most hunting organizations such as RMEF, DU, NBC etc. because I feel they have gotten in bed with the government and while doing so have helped to finance the government to stomp on private land owners right." G.M., Round Mountain

Unlike large cats that can break or bite through their prey's neck and kill by suffocation or strangulation, wild canines do not have this ability and kill their prey by literally tearing it apart while it is still alive. An effective approach successfully employed in the past to control predators that prey on deer would be to reclassify mountain lions from a big game species to a predator and offer a bounty on coyotes. Ed. note: This fawn has its eyes open and ears up. It is literally being...

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Game and Fish Department began hunting coyotes by helicopter this week in hopes of giving newborn antelope a better chance of survival.

The Jarbidge Shovel Brigade is a nonprofit organization founded in response to pressures put on public land users, by federal agencies. South Canyon has become a rallying call for people all over the United States. This is our way of telling the Federal Government, "enough is enough, we want our public and private land right back."

At the May Wildlife Commission meeting, Lincoln County board members Mark Holt and Jim Cole testified that they did not want mountain lion quotas raised in their area. This testimony came after Commissioner Quilici told NDOW that they have not been following their own mountain lion policy. The policy clearly states that the use of sport harvest is how to control lion numbers. With the harvest down from 15 to 25% statewide, Commissioner Quilici moved to increase tags statewide by 25 to 100%.

In August, 1998 Terry Crawforth was appointed as the new administrator of Nevada Division of Wildlife. (NDOW) Shortly after that, Wildlife Commissioner Jack Coons wanted to know what the new administrator's goals and objectives were. Of course, like many other things the new administrator was asked, he ducked, dodged and refused to respond to these questions. Basically, he hid behind his boss, Pete Morros, who has protected him from this "terrible request". Everyone should know that public e...

...have the NDOW stickers been removed from NDOW helicopters and been replaced with Division of Forestry stickers?

...was there no second to Commissioner Quilici's motion to increase statewide lion tags?

...don't NDOW biologists get the use of NDOW helicopters during crucial count times?

...If it takes Nevada Division of Wildlife ten years to figure out that we have a predator problem, then Nevada Division of Wildlife is the problem.

...Senator Ann O'Connell and Assemblyman David Humke have worked hard for sportsmen. They need your support in the upcoming election.

Once again, Nevada Division of Wildlife (NDOW) has shown they are not capable of doing their job. They disregarded sound scientific knowledge and because of that disregard there is a good chance that the sage grouse will soon be placed on the federal T & E List. (Threatened or Endangered)

NDOW Full of S - - -moke and Mirrors For the past decade, NDOW has given us many reasons (BS) why our game numbers have declined. (Never predators!) Of course, they expect we should believe what they preach.

Following are a few beauties from out of the past and their latest tap-dance.
