CAB supports licensing and season limits for coyote‑hunting contests in proposed NAC 525
Summary
The CAB supported a proposed regulation that would set season and licensing requirements for organized coyote‑hunting contests (NAC 525), a compromise that includes limits on optics and a licensing requirement favored by predator‑hunting stakeholders.
The CAB reviewed proposed Commission General Regulation 525, which would set season and licensing requirements for organized coyote‑hunting contests. CAB members recalled public workshops and stakeholder disagreement over restrictions; predator‑hunting groups pushed for a regulatory compromise that retains contest integrity while adding oversight. One CAB member described the draft as "workable" and said the predator group was likely comfortable with the proposed season and licensing approach.
The regulation would require contest organizers to obtain a license and comply with season dates and equipment rules; the draft allows specified optics in contests under defined conditions. After taking public comment, the CAB moved to support the draft NAC 525 by voice vote. The item will return to the Commission for consideration in the rulemaking process.
