Nevada Department of Wildlife game wardens are seeking any tips or information on fourteen ducks found killed and left to waste near Gardnerville Ranchos on March 12th.

None of the ducks were field cleaned and several were still attached to a duck strap that was also abandoned.

"We need the public's help in cases like these," said Reid Varble, the game warden stationed in Gardnerville. "This crime really disgusts me. There is no reason to let meat rot and take these birds from sportsmen and taxpayers." Operation Game Thief (OGT) is offering a reward of $500 for information on this crime. Anyone with information can contact OGT at (800) 992-3030. Calls will remain anonymous.

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.

Aquatic Tactics for Spring Time Gobblers
Spring time can be a very frustrating time for a college student in Bozeman Montana. Choosing between fishing, hunting, hiking, and spring time skiing can be a really difficult decision. This weekend I opted to head east to hunt down some Merriam turkeys. I had recently gotten private property permission from a friend at school to hunt his family ranch along the Yellowstone River. I was accompanied by my two hunting buddies Keith and George.
