| For | I am the chairman of the Nye County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife, I am only speaking for myself here, but I feel that this bill will help bring the county advisory boards, NDOW, and the Commission closer together where more sound decisions, based on science and not bologna can be made to the benefit of the wildlife and the sportsman of our wonderful state. | May-19-2011 |
| For | This bill passed out of the Assembly after much work and testimony. Now it is stalled in the S. Nat. Res. committee. Please get this bill passed out of committee before the deadline of 5/20. | May-19-2011 |
| Against | blatant attempt to unseat a sitting commissioner before his term expires, gives to much power to the governor | May-19-2011 |

| For | May-19-2011 | |
| For | Please support this much needed change in how the commission is structured. The current situation is unworkable and some political hacks are ignoring NDOW's recommendations and sound science in favor of political whims and agendas. | May-18-2011 |
| For | May-18-2011 | |
| For | The majority of the present Commission are anti-hunters. Need proof? Look at the vote they cast Saturday to reduce NDOW recommended deer tag quotas by 25% for NO reason. They ignored NDOW science, logic, their own "best science" policies, the hunting public and common sense. This Commission has lost its way. Please pass this legislation. | May-17-2011 |
| For | May-13-2011 | |
| For | POSITIVE PROACTIVE MEASURE ON ALL 4 COUNTS. | May-12-2011 |
| For | May-12-2011 | |
| Against | No on AB322, this an attempt by the anti hunters to undermine the wildlife commission. | May-10-2011 |
| Against | May-09-2011 | |
| For | Law says Nevada wildlife belong to all of us. This bill is a step in the right direction but one conservation member will always be outvoted. Until there is a 50-50 balance of consumptive users vs. real conservationists and animal activists, most of us will be shut out of decisions. We should be promoting eco-tourism and other non-destructive, non-lethal activites that would bring in revenue and bring Nevada into the 21 Century. Most of us like our animals alive. | May-06-2011 |
| For | The bill is needed to add flexibility to the governor's options. | Apr-28-2011 |
| For | We particularly need a Conservationist on the Commission who is not a consumptive user. There should be more balance between philosophies of animal treatment. | Apr-22-2011 |

| For | This is a much needed clarification. Please pass this bill. | Apr-07-2011 |
| For | Apr-07-2011 | |
| For | It is important to clarify the definitions this bill is concerned with. Protection of wildlife in Nevada is crucial to so many facets of the health of the economy and ecology of the state it must be done by experienced knowledgeable people. | Apr-07-2011 |
| For | Apr-07-2011 | |
| For | It is important that pure conservation interests be represented on this board as NDOW has broad responsibilities, including those for non-game species. | Apr-07-2011 |

| Against | Should not just be a political appointment. | Mar-29-2011 |
| Against | Gives to much power to the Govenor and all to much power to an already corrupt NDOW that has no accountibility with the funds they now recieve from sportsmen. Its time for an audit of NDOW!There needs to be more checks and balances in Gov. This is a tough econemy we need to see where the money is helping our widlife populations. Funny thing the more NDOW employees they hire the smaller our mule deer herd gets? We need the Board of Wildlife Commissioners in place for the people not for the governor! | Mar-26-2011 |

| Against | We, as sportsmen, need the NDOW Director to be hired and supervised by the Wildlife Commission. FOr example, the present director seems to believe that conservation means environmental protectionism and not scientific wildlife management. THis bill should be amended so the Commission can stop a director from doing things that are nothing more than political activism. | Mar-24-2011 |

| For | After reading the text of this bill I cannot say that I have seen another piece of legislation that has such a profound impact on Nevada's wildlife. Passage of this bill is a necessary component of Nevada entering the twenty-first century of wildlife management and freeing itself from the bondage of an antiquated "good 'ol boys" style of management. Please consider the passage of this bill as a fundamental part of making Nevada a better place to live. | Mar-23-2011 |

| For | It is high time we had a REAL conservationist on the board. Our current 'conservationist' is an avid hunter and has proven to know next to nothing about conservation. | Mar-22-2011 |

| For | The current make up of the Board of Wildlife Commissioner's is an embarrassment. This board has been stacked by the previous Governor to achieve specific results regardless of what the sportsmen, the conservation groups, special interest groups or the public support.

| For | there is some good and bad in this bill. the commission needs to be reorganized no doudbt. the method of doing this needs to be changed. the commission does need to listen and weigh the thoughts of the county game boards. politics in appointing the commission is the problem. the results are not suprising when you look at the last governer. this situation, i believe is the first time this has happened and may never happen again, but perhaps this needs to be fixed so that it doesn't. bears are a game an | Mar-22-2011 |

| For | It is time to rethink the composition of the commission. The current members do not take into consideration the public views of their decisions.

| For | I have been a resident of Nevada in the past, and feel that I would expect Nevada to have fair laws that provide protection for the wildlife and at least 1 on the board to advocate this, instead of all on the board being all of one mindset that caters to a "special interest" group, Hunters. This is wrong and needs to change. | Mar-21-2011 |
| For | We need to have a real wildlife conservationist on this board. Not just a hunter who considers himself a conservationist because he does not poach. We also need more people on the board who actually live with wildlife. Not people who live in the Vegas desert. | Mar-21-2011 |

| For | I am a long time Tahoe Nevadan. Non- hunt recreation such as Hiking, Biking, Ski Touring and Wildlife Viewing brings in millions of dollars to our area. Current composition of WLC is 100% hunters, clearly a minority of the state's population. Vast majority of NVers are against such egregious rulings as a bear hunt simply "Because we can" as witnessed by the 3028 emails against it v. 56 for it. We need more than the voice of hunting orgs. on a board that deals with the wildlife that belongs to all Nevada | Mar-21-2011 |
