Nev. hunters shoot down land transfer idea
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
A proposal that would unload millions of acres of federal public land in Nevada fell flat Friday in Carson City.
Dozens of hunters and anglers told the Nevada Wildlife Commission they oppose the proposal contained in Congressional bill by Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev.
The commission, a state body which oversees the Nevada Department of Wildlife, voted unanimously to summarize the hunters’ concerns in a letter to Amodei.
