Department outlines tightened master-guide rules for nonresident guided deer hunts

Jan 21, 2025

NDOW staff told the Elko CAB the state plans to clarify master guide agreements so sub-guides must act as sub-guides (with sub-guide paperwork) rather than operate as independent master guides, a change aimed at preventing permit misuse in forest-service areas.

The full story

NDOW staff and local outfitter representatives described proposed clarifications to master guide agreements intended to prevent master guides from allowing other master guides to operate under their permits without appropriate paperwork. Henry Krinker of Nevada Outfitters and Guides said the change would require that any guide hunting under another master guide’s permit act as a sub-guide and complete sub-guide paperwork, which should prevent other master guides from bringing their own clients in under another's permit.
