The other day I was hunting in a BLM area on the edge of this small community near here. There are a few houses set right on the border of this public land.
The main road to access this area has a sign that says, "You Are Entering Public Land." The sign also has BLM's emblem on it, the upside down triangle. On the way out, there is a you are leaving public land sign.
Any way, I was a good hundred yards behind these houses, on public land trying to figure out which dirt road I was going to take. I heard some yeling and then I looked towards the houses. This guy was telling me that I wasn't allowed to hunt in that area. I replied saying that I believe I am on BLM property and therefore allowed to hunt. There are no signs to indicate otherwise. He then said he was going to call the sheriff. I said to go ahead and I'll even hang around to talk with the deputy.
Later that day I did talk to a deputy about the situation. He said that I was in the right and that this guy always hassles hunters. He must be a California transplant. If he don't like hunting, he should move back.
Then I went on line and researched Nevada hunting regulations. I found a state law that forbids anyone from interfering with someone that is legally hunting.
Next time he comes out yelling, I am going to call the law. I have a copy of the law protecting hunters from being hassled. When the sheriff arrives I'll turn the tables on this knucklehead.
