Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife | June 24, 2026

The Churchill County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife held a meeting on June 24, 2026, focusing primarily on budget approvals and wildlife management project proposals for fiscal year 2027. The board approved several funding requests, including heritage projects, habitat research, and specific wildlife management budgets such as the duck stamp and upland game stamp requests. Discussions included concerns about the allocation of funds for predator control, particularly raven monitoring and removal, and the board passed motions to approve these budget items. Additionally, the board reviewed and voted on various commission regulations related to wildlife management, including shed antler revisions, cooperative wildlife management areas, and the use of thermal imaging equipment, with some regulations opposed due to concerns over enforcement and fairness. The meeting also addressed board vacancy recruitment and the process for increasing the advisory board's budget, with plans to update on these items in future meetings.
