OUTDOOR BRIEF

OVERTON WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Dove hunters need to make
reservations for opening day

Sept. 1 is the opening day of dove hunting season. Hunters wishing to hunt at the Overton Wildlife Management Area will need to make reservations for opening day and the first weekend. They can do this by participating in a drawing scheduled for 8 a.m. on Aug. 29 at the Nevada Department of Wildlife offices in Las Vegas and Henderson or at the Overton WMA headquarters.

The Las Vegas office is at 4747 W. Vegas Drive, and the Henderson office is at 744 S. Racetrack Road.

Reservations must be made in person, or by a representative, and will not be accepted by mail or phone. Reservations will be limited to 60 hunters for opening day and each day of the opening weekend.

During the dove hunt, reservations are not required for any days other than the opening day and first weekend. An upland game bird stamp is not required for dove hunting, but hunters are required to have a Harvest Information Program number, which can be obtained by visiting www.ndow.org.
