Elko County CAB backs changes to demerits, junior tag transfers and heritage season dates
Summary
The Elko County Advisory Board voted to support several state agenda items: increasing demerit points for thermal imaging/trail camera violations, approving junior mule deer tag transfer language, and aligning heritage tag season dates; motions passed by voice vote and will be sent to the commission.
The Elko County Advisory Board voted to support multiple state Department of Wildlife regulation proposals, including a change to demerit points for trail cameras and thermal imaging devices, revisions to junior mule deer tag-transfer language, and a proposed seasonal change for heritage tags.
On the demerits item (state agenda item cited in the meeting as item 20), board discussion focused on whether the proposal also changed season dates; members clarified that earlier commission discussions had not altered season dates and that the current workshop item addressed demerit point adjustments. A board member moved to support the change to demerit points; the motion passed by voice vote with the chair indicating an affirmative vote.
On junior mule deer tag transfer (state agenda item 20b), members reviewed proposed language that would limit transfers and discuss proximity rules for a junior hunter being in the field with the tag holder; the transcript records discussion of a provision that a holder “may only transfer tax set forth in this section once during his or her lifetime.” The board moved to support the proposed language and passed the motion.
On heritage tags, seasons and quotas (discussed as agenda 26a/20a during the meeting), members discussed aligning the start of a season to August 1 so trail cameras would have been removed; the board moved to support the item and approved it by voice vote.
All three support motions were recorded as passed by voice vote; the CAB will forward its positions to the county commission or the relevant body as part of the state workshop comment process.
