Move on to number six would be for discussion only and update from attendees to the May 8th and 9th 2026 Nevada Wildlife Commission meeting.

And that was me.

And so just uh just a couple of things that it took down was that the technology committee is moving forward with looking at implementing uh implementation of e-tags for the future.

Um the department is uh trying to establish a crayfish population up in the cave lake, and when it's uh established, they're going to uh introduce smallmouth bass, which I thought was pretty cool, and then also department is looking into studying the uh construction of wildlife crossings in the south of Wales in the area of Spruce Mountain and in and around Pioche.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, it is and then uh also the department is going into an agreement with private landowners up in area seven to create the Windermeyer Hills Wildlife Management Area or conservation wildlife management area, which is up in uh 07.

Uh there was a discussion in regards that precipitation was near normal for this year, but it came in the form of water and or rain, water, of course, and uh and not snow pack, and currently uh at the time of the meeting um earlier last month uh that the snowpack was pretty much zero across the strait, across the state.

Uh, the concern for wildlife uh wild wildland fire was more centered around the amount of fuel rather than um drought conditions because we I guess from the rain, the grasses were growing more, and thus once that dries out, it just goes into it.

I thought it was pretty interesting.

They had was a discussion by biologists in regards to the uh to approximately 20% loss of shrubland or sage land within the state uh due to wildland fire, uh wildland fires.

Um was a pretty good presentation showing the amount of habitat that was lost to fire to a direct um decrease in the mule deer meal deer here, meal deer herd in the state, um, and then how mule deer are having a negative response and in regards to evasive annual grasses and the implication of a strategic management within the state for those, and there's uh active uh control plans for these annual evasive species.

Um, well, I don't know, it's a positive because of the increase in grasslands, uh, elk and antelope have benefited from it, as the deer have been negatively impacted.

Uh one of the things, uh, several of the cabs came during public speaking to urge the commission to take a stance or a stance on the control and management of the Feral Horse herds, and a c and a couple of the cabs out east have actually submitted letters to their county commissions to where that those counties declared a county emergency.

And then the commission also improved the regulation to prohibit the automatic range finding scopes and self-adjusting sites, and then they also accepted a petition from a Mr.

Evans in regards to removing the compound bowls uh let off limit, and now this is going to go to workshop.

Any questions?

Rob nobody has the input for that, but does anybody like anything to share in regards to urban wildlife?

All right, we move on to number eight for discussion only, uh, reports and informational.

Any item requiring action will be scheduled for a future agenda.

Would any of the board members like to pull an item for discussion?

Okay.

Yeah, I appreciate that, thank you.

You know, anything about the uh easement access, access easement that's going on.

I don't have anything to pull either.

Do we have to manage radio populations?

Sage grass.

Yeah, so let once we poll them for for discussion, we'll prove the ones that we're not addressing, and then we'll go into discussion for each one.

And we'll just open up for public.

Okay, if I could get a motion then to reapprove as written.

I approve.

Say aye.

Aye.

We'll move to the two items uh we wish to be polled.

Fiscal year twenty-seven found uh bond collaring project that's seventy thousand dollars.

Fiscal year twenty-seven Nevada in state prong horn trap and transplant seventy-five thousand dollars.
