*NOTE: According to the Nevada Department of Wildlife, as of 3/29/01, Seasons have not yet been established for 2001. We will post them as soon as they are released.

We have all watched bird hunting programs on television. The impression we often get is that it is quite easy! There is Kurt Gowdy and some football player buddy or movie star, walking the flatlands of Nebraska, popping Pheasant after Pheasant while the faithful dog "Buck" collects them and their feet.

We have no problem with this, however, we are here to tell you that when you hunt birds in Nevada, you better be ready to work!

Nevada offers a wide variety of Upland Game Birds. This site is for information purposes only, be sure to ALWAYS check the regulations and laws before attempting this or any other Adventure. We will post new information as it becomes available.

SMALL GAME AND UPLAND GAME BIRD LAWS & REGULATIONS

Upland Game Birds include the Sage, Forest Blue and Ruffed Grouse; Chukar and Hungarian Partridge; California, Grambel's, Scale and Mountain Quail; Mourning Doves (try to hit one of these dudes!); and even Pheasant and Wild Turkey.

If you've chased chukar up a rocky outcrop at an elevation of 7500 feet, you know how a linebacker for the old St. Louis Cardinals felt chasing Walter Payton! These birds can move.

The variety of Upland Game found in Nevada is as diverse as the hunting conditions you will find here. You are liable to find them anywhere or nowhere. Pre-scouting and talking with the locals and advertiser on NevadAdventureS is your best bet.

The information that we offer you, our fellow Adventurers, is from the NEW 2000 Small Game and Upland Game Laws and Regulations. Remember that included in the Upland Game Bird Season Regulations is Rabbit Season Regulations and Mourning Dove which is actually a Migratory Bird. We will include this information as well.
