NDOW.. ..NO MORE LIES!
You can learn a lot hanging around a taxidermy shop, and rightfully so. For it is the sportsmen who spend thousands of hours in the field every year. They are not biologists but they do know what they see or in the case of this article, what they haven't seen. Sportsmen are not willing to take NDOW's word for the loss of our deer any longer.

NDOW would fail NRA test
At the 2001 NRA (National Rifle Association) Annual meeting, First Vice President Kayne B. Robinson gave a speech which contained the following: "Fish and game agencies should be graded on how friendly they are to hunters and gun owners. Agencies should be graded on the expansion of shooting areas, areas devoid of red tape. They should be judged by restrictions removed, closed roads and bridges opened, costs lowered, and numbers of hunters increased and game available."

Vegas Valley Regional Shooting Park
Moccasin Road, Turn North at the Decatur Exit of North Beltway The 2880 acre parcel of land for this proposed World Class Shooting Facility will soon be passed to Clark County ownership.

Timing of deer tag cuts questioned
This is in response to the article on Nevada Department of Wildlife and their suggestion of cutting the Deer Tag Quota for the upcoming season. First of all isn't it a coincidence that they decide to announce this after the April 22 tag application deadline? At least they got to collect all of the nonrefundable $10 fees. 1 am sure they could have looked at the harvest returns from last season and seen that the numbers were not there. They are worried about making their budget. If they were m...

Status of the Clark County Wilderness Legislation
It has been less than a year since the Nevada Wildlife Commission first heard about a move by the Friends of Nevada Wilderness to persuade Senators Reid and Ensign to introduce legislation, in this session of Congress, to establish more than 4 million acres of Southern Nevada as wilderness. The proposal was shocking on the heels of the recent designation of nearly 1.2 million acres within the Black Rock National Conservation Area and Wilderness in Northwestern Nevada, (see sidebar this page). Th...

Anyone who knows anything about wildlife matters in our state realizes that the Nevada Division of Wildlife (NDOW) is not going to do anything to bring back our game numbers. We have lost our sage hen, over 50% of our deer, and in some areas, our state animal the desert bighorn sheep.

EDITORIAL
So you went to a sportsmen's banquet, you know, one of those organizations who do good things for big game, fish or birds. You paid too much for a ticket but you were doing the right thing. You bought $100 worth of raffle tickets knowing you probably weren't going to win anything. Maybe you even paid $700 for a $500 gun in the auction. But you knew you were doing something good for hunting, but were you?

Some good legislative bills from the Wildlife Commission
When it comes to legislative bills to help sportsmen, the Wildlife Commissioners have been nonexistent for the last six legislative sessions, which amounts to 12 years. If they did anything at all, it was to rubberstamp NDOW's bills for more rules and regulations and higher fees. They also opposed good bills for sportsmen like putting two more sportsmen on the Wildlife Commission and having a fair big game tag draw.

LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE!
It is the function of the Wildlife Commissioners to set policy for the Nevada Division of Wildlife (NDOW). This is a tough job to do when you arc appointed to the Wildlife Commission without the knowledge to handle this important task. The only way to gain this vital experience is to attend county advisory board and Wildlife Commission meetings before you are appointed to the Wildlife Commission. Classic examples of people who were appointed as sportsmen's representatives to the Wildlife Com...
