In the next legislative session, just like the last one, NDOW and the Wildlife Commission have chosen to sell you out! (See story on page XX) If they have their way, sportsmen will have higher fees, no accountability for sportsmen’s money and many new laws designed to harass hunters. HUNTER’S ALERT finds it amazing that they received a 33 percent increase ($7 million) in the last legislative session and now they want more of sportsmen’s money without any accountability for their $28 million budget. Their legislative package contains no new game projects and the majority of it is more law enforcement. In addition, they refused to do anything in the way of predator control to bring back our deer. Is it stupidity or do they just not want to? No other reason is valid.
In the upcoming legislative session, HUNTER’S ALERT will sponsor numerous bills to bring back our deer, have some accountability for sportsmen’s money and more representation from the county advisory boards. It will be equally as important to see these bills passed as the ones the Wildlife Commission and NDOW have proposed be defeated. HUNTER’S ALERT cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to get involved if you care about the future of hunting in Nevada. State senators and assemblymen are responsible for passing or defeating bills. You must let them know and here’s how you will be able to do that. The legislative session will begin in February. Prior to this, HUNTER’S ALERT will let you know what the bill numbers are and how they will help or hurt you. By accessing our website, www.huntersalert.org you will have all the information you will need to write, phone or e-mail your legislators. It is your sport, it is up to you to save it.
