NDOW Releases new regulations for hunters

RENO — Nevada hunters have a new type of license available and a host of new regulations to be aware of for the 2010-11 hunting season. What species, where and how they can be hunted will determine if any or all of these regulations apply. Regardless, it’s the hunter’s responsibility to know the law before going into the field.

Apprentice Hunting License: An apprentice license bill designed to entice more people to try hunting emerged from the 2009 Legislature. The apprentice hunter law allows anyone 12 years and older to hunt upland game and waterfowl (no tagged species) for one season without first completing a Hunter Education Course.
