Nevada Turkey Questionnaire Due Dec. 1st

Hunters who drew a Fall Turkey tag this year are reminded to turn in their turkey questionnaire by December 1, 2008.

"This is the first year the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) has required a questionnaire be turned in for turkey," said Shawn Espinosa, upland game biologist at NDOW. "The spring hunt was our first attempt at collecting the questionnaires and the number of returns were only around 58 percent. We would like to see that above 80 percent." Espinosa reports the information collected is used to generate future tag quotas.

The properly completed questionnaire must be completed and received by Wildlife Administrative Services by 5 p.m. on December 1 or the hunter risks being denied all turkey tags for one year. The questionnaire, which is sent to hunters attached to the actual tags, can also be filled out online at www.huntnevada.com.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW's wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen's license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear. Support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org.
