Assembly Committee on Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Mining
Monday, April 08, 2019 at 4:00 PM
Room 3138 of the Legislative Building, 401 S. Carson St., Carson City, NV.
Room 4406 of the Grant Sawyer State Office Building, 555 E. Washington Ave., Las Vegas, NV.
Room 102, McMullen Hall, Great Basin College, 1500 College Parkway, Elko, NV.
This is the 3rd and final reading for the bill with the Committee. That’s means they will vote right after they discuss it. We need to get emails out before the meeting stressing the importance of 96 hour trap checks in Nevada.
A big concern is the conflict between traps and other outdoor groups. Shortening trap checks will make it so Trappers can’t afford with time or money to travel far from the city where most people go to hike and enjoy the outdoors. This will cause more conflicts. 96 hours allows trappers to disperse out from the cities.
Another point to make is how shortening trap checks effects the working class. We can’t afford to take off multiple days a week to check traps. If we are checking at nights, we will have to trap close or we will be out all night multiple nights which will effect our work negativity with quality and safety. This will take away the opportunity from the workings class.
Right now the law states that 96 hours is the MAX amount of time that NDOW can allow. If at anytime they feel a need to reduce trap checks, they can through regulation change. Reducing the law to say 48 hours takes away that flexibility away from NDOW.
Once again remember to be RESPECTFUL. Remember that they do have the right and authority to make these laws. We have done good at being respectful so let’s keep that up.
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

A reminder for the meeting tomorrow. It’s the final meeting and voting for the committee. If we can get a majority to vote against it, then the bill will be killed. If it passes then it has to go through both the Assembly and the Senate with the same process. Let’s get this thing ended tomorrow. Please send emails to all the committee members and let them know that Nevada trappers need 96 hour trap checks.
Good points to make and the emails for the assembly members are in the previous two post.

Thanks for the update!! The meeting today went well. We need to send emails letting the committee members know why Nevada needs 96 hour trap checks. Nevada is Over 80% public land with dense populations in two small areas. The only state with similarities is Alaska. For trappers to be affective we need to be able to afford, with both time and money, to cover ground. Shortening trap checks forces us to all trap closer to the cities, causing more issues. Legholds have been removed from the bill which is big for us. They changed the leghold ban to a can on bodygrip traps on dry land. The Committee member who amended the bill did a great job researching bodygrip traps and was able to define it so snares didn’t fit in that category. Thanks for the support so far. We are making a stance that we will not be prisoners
Another note for everyone who shared there testimony. Everyone did an awesome job. Very respectful, very professional, and got our points across. They gave both sides 30 mins to share testimonies with a limit of 2 min per person. The Antis took up 15 min or so, and they had to cut us off because we used our 30 min.
Anyways, this is a long post but we had to sit through a 3-1/2 hour meeting so I’m trying to sum it all out.
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT SO FAR. We need to send emails about the trap checks. We need 96 hours and nothing less.

How did yesterdays hearing turn out? Couldn't attend but called and emailed. The hearing was continued until tomorrow (Wednesday) at 4:00 pm. I take that as a good sign. Might be some things going on behind the scenes. Keep an eye on this page and the Southern Nevada Coalition for Wildlife Facebook page for further details.

The workshop meeting was scheduled to hear AB473 yesterday, but was pulled from the agenda before the meeting started. We don't know why it was pulled but this same thing happened on Monday. We will let everyone know if a new hearing is scheduled.
April 12th is the scheduled cut off date to get bills out of Committee, but this can be extend. This isn’t a one and done thing so we will continue to watch everything closely. I will continue to keep everyone updated. Please continue to be respectful in all your comments, emails, and calls. We have done an awesome job with that so far and are very grateful for it.
