Hi Guys, received an email today from Les with RMEF about some proposed goofy changes/proposal's at the Game Commission Hearing held today and tomorrow in Fallon. I am still new on here and I dont have a clue how to send something from my e-mail to post on here. If one of the moderators would please send me an e-mail at [email protected] I can forward the info to you for editing and posting. Thanks and God bless, Mark

Here you go lucky.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Wildlife
Commission will be meeting in Fallon, Nevada, for their
regularly scheduled August meeting. They will be
voting on Saturday whether or not to implement Commission
General Regulation (CGR) 450 and 451. CGR 450 raises
the demerits for failing to visit a trap within the
prescribed time from 6 demerit points to 12 demerit
points. CGR 451 raises demerit points for anglers
fishing on private land, without permission, from three
demerit points to 12 demerit points. For hunters and
trappers it raises demerits from six to 12 demerit
points. To most of us who safely and responsibly hunt,
fish or trap in Nevada, this might not seem to mean too
much. But, if you’re caught innocently wandering
across a checkerboard landscape of private and public land,
much of which is unfenced and un-posted, that 12 points will
cost you the opportunity to hunt, fish or trap for
five-years; not just in Nevada, but across the entire,
western United States! These onerous regulations were
proposed, because a couple of anti-trappers told sob stories
about dogs caught in traps, illegally set on private
property. While we are genuinely sorry for the injury
that some ne’er-do-wells caused the dogs and their
owners; this knee-jerk reaction of the commission is not
justified and will undoubtedly prove
counter-productive. On top of that, the Commission has
lumped all hunters and anglers into the mix; putting
innocent hunters, anglers and trappers at risk of losing
their hunting privileges, just for being in the wrong place
at the wrong time. You need to make your voices
herd! And, quickly!

Hey Everyone, I just got an e-mail back from the secretary of the Game Commission that these proposed regulation passed. It is primarily directed at trappers but any of us could get caught up in them by very simple mistakes. God bless ya'll
