A wide variety of issues will come before the State Wildlife Commission when they meet March 23 - 24 in Overton, Nevada, according to Nevada Division of Wildlife. A number of reports will be given by NDOW personnel and Commission members. One bonus point is awarded to each person who applies for, but who is unsuccessful in obtaining a big game hunt tag.
Bonus points increase the chance a hunter has of drawing a tag in future years.
Pershing Co. Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife, asks for a regulation change to allow the use of steel leg hold traps to harvest mountain lions. Currently lions may only be taken with legal weapons. On both petitions, the Commission will take action to either initiate regulatory action or deny the requests. The Moapa Valley Community Center is located at 320 N. Moapa Valley Road in Overton.
