Do any of you fellow Nevadans watch the commissioners meetings on the YouTube?? I came across it yesterday and ended up watching quite a bit of it.

Link above they went over shed hunting seasons and the use of trail cameras. Looks like they are wanting to close shed hunting from January 1st through April 30th. I do think it needs to be approved through the legislation process though.
For trail cameras, basically from July 1st through December 31st you can not use a transmitting camera anywhere and from August 1st through December 31st you can not use a non-transmitting camera. The remaining months there are regulations, such as you must be 300ft away from any water source. I have not decided how I feel about this. On the one hand, I could care less. I own one camera for 4 or 5 years and literally have used it once for hunting purposes in 2015. I was curious on whether any animals were travelling through this pretty tight draw.
On the other hand, I am not sure if I like the Nevada Department of Wildlife telling me what I can or cannot do on public land outside of regulating the animals. Of course, some will say that the cameras would give me an unfair advantage over the animal I am pursuing. In my experience, I have tried to pattern certain deer without the use of the cameras, and thought I pretty much had him pegged for what he does daily. Come archery hunting season, buck is nowhere to be found.
How does the wardens plan on enforcing this regulation?? Wardens are scarce, they will be able to catch those that set cameras up on man made water sources, which I think is the main reason for the regulation request, but not sure they will be able to enforce said regulation away from the roads.
Really don't know how I feel about this regulation. Again I think legislation will need to pass this before it goes into effect.

This link they went over the different species and season dates. I fast forwarded through a lot of this as the page is over 8 hours long. One thing I like is that they are looking to change the hunting hours to 1/2hr before sunrise and 1/2hr after sunset.
Anyways, if anybody is bored, you can take a look.
