Piper, you don't make much sense, first you say I'm to blame for the fact that there are too many elk and then you say I'm to balme for the lack of elk. In reality, we do have great numbers of elk in Nevada and we want to keep it that way. My point about all of the elk tags was to show the humor in NDOW's position on the shed horn hunting law. They say we have way too many elk and need to kill them but we need to stop all of the shed horn hunters because they are out in the woods harming them. NDOW needs to make up their minds. Saying we need to put all of these restrictions on honest people because of a few jokers that misuse ATV's is absolutely nonsense. Having a shed horn season that starts the middle of April will do way more harm to the deer and elk herds then spreading the shed horn hunters out over an extended amount of time. When do you think elk and deer have their calves and fawns? It's around that time of the year. If you say it's ok for Wyoming, let's do it in Utah! Make no mistake, NDOW was and is behind this new law that further restricts honest people from enjoying Nevada's outdoors.
