This is probably going to open a can of worms. I am posting both to get some feedback and maybe vent a little. I have been on a number of deer hunts this year in different units throughout the state, and the number and quality of deer overall is concerning. I have talked to a number of people who say the same thing. The question that keeps coming up is "why"? Is it predators, lack of food, too many hunters, or a combination of all of it? You would think with a big die off for whatever reason we would be seeing carcasses, and we aren't seeing any more than usual. Are guys poaching deer? I read some threads today and people seem to comment a lot on how good Nevada is at managing their wildlife. I used to have this opinion but I no longer do. I think that Nevada needs to incorporate a 3 point or better clause, close certain units for a year or two, or do something to get these numbers back up. I think since covid hit a lot more people are hunting and a lot more people are out in the woods. It seems the biologists who do the "counts" need to find a new method or drastically reduce tag numbers. The fact that some of the quotas in the areas I was in this year increased blows my mind. I am planning on attending some wildlife commission meetings this year to speak my mind, and if any of you agree I encourage you to do the same. Hunting in this state is not what it used to be and after seeing what I saw this year something needs to be done.
