Big news in Nevada.

Nevada adds Moose as a big game species that can be hunted. https://www.kolotv.com/2024/01/29/nevada-department-wildlife-approves-moose-hunting/

Always good to hear that game populations are good enough to open a season. I'm guessing with those population numbers it'll be resident only like their goat tags though.

My buddy Joel called this when we were hanging out at Sheep Show.

That’s so awesome wish I was a resident to be able to apply for them!

Shhhhhh!

"The agency has tracked more than 100 moose in the state, and with growing numbers, officials say allowing hunting will keep the population in check."

Apparently we are worried about the moose becoming overpopulated in Nevada?

The 2024 regs aren't out yet. They just set the season dates last weekend. The quotas will be set in a couple months. I believe it was only a resident hunt though.

WSF are already calling to try auction it off…..#conservation#Merica

Wish they would wait a few more years and let the population grow. Probably won’t hurt to harvest a bull or two though. I’m definitely going to get in on the ground floor for this one

When I saw this, first thing that came into my mind was "it's not even April fools day yet".
If this is true you can count me in!

Nevada will need to build their moose population quickly to offset what will happen to Colorado's moose.

There won't be near enough harvest to affect the population in any significant way.

Yeah I can't see NDOW allotting more than 2 or 3 tags which is fine with me.
It would be exciting just to see one in the Rubys where we've been hunting since the early 80's.
Back then seeing an elk in the Rubys wasn't even a thought, now we might see a moose.

I remember driving through secret pass when I was a kid and my dad and uncle talking about recent elk spottings in the area. Now they're in pretty much the whole state.

NV has such great moose habitat I'm sure they will eventually over run the place

Hahaha this very true....it was more of a dog on the wolf thing in Colorado. They had done so good their with their moose populations.

Nevada gears up for inaugural moose hunt as population continues to grow

For the first time, Nevada will offer a moose hunt.A few moose were first spotted in the state back in 1950 and the population has grown ever since."Our estima

There's more bulls than cows. Killing a couple bulls will put less stress on the cows during the rut, and ultimately benefit the population.
