Last December the Nevada Wildlife Commission okayed the first bear hunt in Nevada history. The population of Nevada bears is 200-300. The commission is made up 100% of hunters. They think killing 20 bears is okay. The people of Nevada do not. The Commission received over 3000 emails against the hunt, 54 for it. They voted for it anyway, for their few hunting buddies. Many hunters have come forward with their dissatisfaction over the bear hunt.

Twenty bears is not worth the hunt. Poachers will come in and the number taken may reach 50% of our bears. NV is one of the poorest states and does not have the means for oversight.

There is no sound science for this hunt. Commissioner McBeath said it all after the unanimous vote,

It's not for public safety. It's not for revenue. It's not for dealing with the nuisance bears. It's because we can.
