Sportsmen need John Ensign!

It's about as simple as it can be. Any loss of land is a loss of hunting opportunity. Losing the land can happen in many ways such as wilderness or simply declaring an area roadless and creating a national monument. These are the ways the federal government can prevent you from getting into your favorite hunting areas. This is a federal issue and only your four representatives in Washington can help you in this cause.

Sportsmen also need Jon Porter

Sportsmen need to compare Jon Porter and Shelley Berkley and see who will best represent them in Washington, D.C. First, let's discuss Jon Porter. While Jon Porter was a senator serving in the Nevada Legislature, he supported HUNTER'S ALERT's legislative bills 100% of the time. He never wavered on sportsmen's issues. How does Jon Porter feel about gun ownership? Well, the National Rifle Association (NRA) formally endorsed and donated money to his campaign. That alone should tell ...

A woman who gets the job done.

Sportsmen in the state of Nevada have no better friend in the legislature than Ann O'Connell. She has always been willing to put on the gloves and fight for sportsmen's issues. Forget about politics, forget about ducking hot issues, forget about being politically correct. These are all things that Senator Ann O'Connell doesn't worry about. For many years, she has done what is best for the natural resource and the sportsmen of this state.

DOESN'T THIS MAKE YOU SICK?

Well, it had no effect on former governor Bob Miller, former NDOW administrator Willie Molini and former Wildlife Commission chairman Mahlon Brown. Even today, Wildlife commissioners Jelindo Tiberti and NDOW administrator Terry Crawforth refuse to implement any type of predator management for our deer herds. They are a disgrace to the sportsmen and the natural resource they were supposed to manage. They should all hang their heads in shame for the way they have managed our game.

The Truth Be Known

The disinformation and outright lies coming forth from various agency employees is appalling. In an Elko Daily Free Press article dated March 6. 1997, it was reported that Larry Gilbertson. NDOW supervising game biologist for Region II. told the Elko County Game Board that in 1988 hunters bagged 18.901 bucks in Nevada, the highest ever.

Federal Aid - Future Friend or Foe?

For the last half of the 20th century Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson excise taxes on anus, ammunition and fishing tackle were a model conservation management program for the world. Last spring at an international meeting in Nairobi when the French speaking African nations asked for help to establish a similar program, the US delegation was silent.

Good News Bad News

Good news for Nevada sportsmen! HUNTER'S ALERT has been waiting to write a report like this for over 20 years. Sportsmen now have 5 (the majority) good Wildlife commissioners on the Board. A very nasty Wildlife Commission meeting was held on August 14 and 15 in Elko. The bighorn sheep people did everything they could to see that Gerald Lent was not re-elected as chairman. Thankfully, the sheep people were defeated.

Gerald Lent is in the process of forming a Mule Deer Task Force committee. The intent of this committee is to facilitate input from concerned deer hunters. For that reason, we are requesting that everyone with an idea or suggestion to bring back our deer to submit it to the committee chair, Scott Raine. He can be reached at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or PO Box 812, Eureka, NV 89316.  All ideas will be considered and I can assure you that some will be presented to the Wildlife Commission for implementation. 

Past and current directors and NDOW biologists have done nothing to bring back our deer so it is going to be up to this Wildlife Commission to implement some changes. At last the general public is going to have some direct input. Please pass this information on to your fellow hunters as the committee wants as many suggestions as possible.

Thank you for your support of HUNTER'S ALERT. We are working for ALL of the sportsmen of Nevada to preserve and protect our hunting heritage. 

Listed below are recommendations sent to Commissioner Raine by HUNTER'S ALERT.

Dear Commissioner Raine:

HUNTER'S ALERT is pleased that someone with some authority has finally realized that we have lost our deer and actually wants to do something to address this loss. For that reason, HUNTER'S ALERT is listing five suggestions which we hope you will consider. 

1.     Replace the current director with someone who wants to bring back our deer.

2.     Managing mountain lions is a state right. The mountain lion should be returned to predator status without any federal repercussions. The threat of withholding P-R money goes against the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. P-R money should be given to states with no strings attached.

3.     If number 2 is unattainable, insure the objective harvest of mountain lions is accomplished every year.

4.     No killing of does until deer numbers are at 200,000 statewide.

5.     More emphasis on predator control.
