NDOW TO HOST BIG GAME TAG APPLICATION WORKSHOP

Southern Nevada hunters who would like to learn more about Nevada's big game tag application process can do so by attending one of two informational workshops hosted by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW). On the agenda are the application procedure, tag quotas and draw odds, as well as a discussion about bonus points and the role they play in the tag application process. Also to be discussed are common application errors and how to prevent them.

Both workshops will be held at the Clark County Shooting Park Education Center located at 11357 Decatur Blvd. An evening workshop will be held March 25 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. For those who prefer a daytime class, a second workshop is scheduled for March 30 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Reservations are not required, but seating is limited. Call (702) 486-5127 x 3501 for more information.

Nevada's annual big game tag draw began Friday, March 18. Tag applications can be submitted online at www.huntnevada.com. Paper applications are also available. The deadline to submit tag applications is 5 p.m., April 18. Postmarks don't count.
