MEMORANDUM December 30, 2020

To: Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners, County Advisory Boards to Manage Wildlife, and Interested Publics

From: Mike Scott, Administrator, Game Division

Title: Commission Regulation 21-03, 2021-22 and 2022-23 Big Game Seasons – For Possible Action

Description: The Commission will consider adopting 2021-22 and 2022-23 hunting season dates for mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats, including limits, hunting hours, special hunt eligibility, animal sex, physical characteristics, and emergency depredation hunt structure and statewide quotas.

Presenter: Wildlife Staff Specialists Cody Schroeder, Cody McKee, and Mike Cox

Summary:

The Department is presenting the proposed recommendations for mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 hunting seasons. Proposed season changes are displayed with different colors of text. Black indicates no changes from the previous year, red indicates new, changed, or added seasons recommendations, and blue indicates closed season recommendations. In general, proposed seasons are recommended to follow traditional season dates, to accommodate interstate herds or herds that occupy lands administered by the Department of Defense, to facilitate hunter access to seasonal movement of big game animals among administrative boundaries, to attempt to follow management plans, address non- resident seasons, or to facilitate varied success rates based on timing of seasons. Specific rationales for changes are included in a three-page appendix following the proposed seasons.

Recommendation:

The Department recommends that the Commission VOTE TO ADOPT COMMISSION REGULATION 21-03, BIG GAME QUOTAS FOR THE 2021-22 AND 2022-23 SEASONS AS PRESENTED CR 21-03

26 of 26 12 January 2021 Rationale for 2021-2022 Big Game Season Amendments

Antelope:

1. The Department is recommending expanding muzzleloader hunts for antelope for both residents and non-residents to provide additional opportunities to hunt antelope with muzzleloaders making these similar to archery and any legal weapon opportunities. Most of these seasons recommended run from September 25 through October 4, which is post-rut.

2. In Units 041-042 and 043-046 we are recommending shortening the archery antelope seasons by one week to allow for the muzzleloader hunts to run from August 15 – August 21 for both residents and nonresidents.

3. The Department is recommending adding a horns-shorter-than-ears hunt to Units 043 – 046 to manage an increasing herd.

Elk:

1. The Department is Proposing antlered and antlerless elk depredation hunt within 1-mile of the Spring Valley Ranch in Unit 115 to address on-going elk depredation concerns on cultivated cropland.

2. The Department is proposing closing all elk hunts in Unit 065 due to declining elk numbers and poor hunter success.

3. The Department is proposing ending late season cow hunts in all but 2 areas (Units 051 & 113) on January 1st to better align with the seasonal closure dates for shed antler collection.

4. The Department is proposing introducing spike elk hunts in 8 additional areas to help stabilize increasing bull:cow ratios and provide added elk hunting options to Nevada elk hunters.

5. The Department is proposing added cow hunting opportunity to primitive weapon classes and additional nonresident cow hunts to comply with Commission Policy 24.

Bighorn Sheep:

1. The Department is proposing closing the late season in Unit Group 045, 153 due to possible disease issues that may affect numbers of mature rams.

2. The Department is proposing forming Units 221 & 223 into a hunt unit group and combining all of Unit 241 into a single hunt unit group for the Desert bighorn ram hunt. This will result in the north Hikos, North Pahrocs, and Egans being combined into a single hunt unit and also combining the south Hikos, South Pahrocs, and Delamars into a single hunt unit. This will remove the need for the special boundary.

3. The Department is proposing combining Units 264, 265, and 266 into a single hunt unit group. This will allow hunters to expand hunted areas that have lower numbers of sheep due to disease issues over the last several years.

1 4. The Department is recommending instituting an Archery-only Desert Bighorn ram hunts in six areas. These hunts are designed to allow opportunity for dedicated archers to hunt for rams in areas where bighorns are somewhat less reliant on man-made water sources (guzzlers).

5. The Department is proposing opening a ewe hunt in Unit 161 in an attempt to reduce the density of sheep in that unit. Currently the population is above its population objective and sheep focused on the high elevation summer range.

6. The Department is proposing opening the California Bighorn ram hunt in Units 011, 013. Enough mature rams are available in these units to justify opening the hunt.

7. The Department is proposing to close the Unit 041 California Bighorn ram hunt. Mature rams are lacking in this unit due to predator losses.

8. The Department is proposing shifting the Unit 051 Nonresident California Bighorn ram tag to a unit with more resident tags.

9. The Department is recommending closing the 068 California Bighorn ewe hunt. We are proposing to use these animals as source stock for an upcoming bighorn capture. We will consider proposing a ewe hunt in this area as needed in the future.

10. The Department is proposing closing the Unit 091 Rocky Mountain Bighorn ram hunt due to a lack of mature rams due to low recruitment over the last decade due to pneumonia and high lamb mortality. NDOW is collaborating with Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in conducting a Test and Removal project to remove chronic shedder and attempt to recover this herd from ongoing disease issues.

11. The Department is recommending splitting Unit 132 to focus harvest on a new pioneering herd in the Quinn Canyon Range.

12. The Department is proposing extending the Toiyabe Range Unit 173 season dates to help increase low hunter success.

13. The Department is proposing combining the McGee Mtn. portion of Unit 032 with the Sheldon portion of Unit 033 because rams move freely between the two contiguous geographic areas.

14. The Department is proposing to separate the Bloody Runs from the Jackson Mountains in Unit 035, to allow rams reintroduced in 2019 to mature and increase in number.

15. The Department is proposing extending the season dates for Unit 114 and 115 Rocky Mtn. bighorn hunts to improve opportunity to harvest mature rams.

2 Mule Deer:

1. The Department is recommending a change to Unit Group 171-173 Mule Deer season structure from an Early-Late split to an Early-Mid-Late split, similar to the Area 22 seasons. This is to reduce hunter density during the early season.

2. The Department is changing the 114, 115 Baker Ranch Antlerless Any Legal Weapon seasons to run from Dec 1 to Dec 15 for Early season and Dec 16 to Dec 24 for Late seasons to provide more access and increase hunter success.

3. The Department is recommending adding a late season mule deer Any Legal Weapon hunt in Unit 111-113 to run from Nov 10 to Nov 30.

Emergency Depredation Hunts:

1. The Department is proposing changing the language about how tags will be awarded for Emergency Big Game hunts to allow additional applicants to be eligible for emergency depredation hunts.

2. The Department is proposing to add Bighorn Sheep to the 2021 and 2022 Emergency Depredation Hunts.
