I'm told this Bill has passed, and according to what I read, and will be on the book and in law by the stated date.......

Qualifications For Licensure, section 58-78-302 1.c:

Applicants must produce satisfacory evidence of good moral charactor.

Dude, that clause just disqualified the majority of hound doggers in this state!

Lots of laughs Kevin, so does that mean most of the lion killing is going to end? If so, I better call my representative and tell them to hurry and push this Bill through then....................................

Ike. obviosly you don't want a bunch of drug bag poachers for guides in your fine state. Here is an example of moral standing in nevada. A good friend of mine applied for a subguid liscense of some sort in nevada last year. He was denied because of his prior game violations. His game violation was shooting sage rats from a county road without a hunting liscense. He was sixteen years old when he recieved the citation and he is now 42. 26 years later he is not a good moral candidate? B.S. ? I think so. I think whenever our way of life is threatned we need specific writing in the law or bill. No room for interpritation!!! e.g. 1 or more big game violations, drug convictions, domestic violence, whatever the case may be, just be specific in the wording. I do not want to start an argument JMO. Thanks for this thread I think it is an important and valid one.

High Desert hounds,

I couldn't agree more with what you just said. Sorry about my response to Kevin, but that was just joking and sarcasm and not the way I feel. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE STATE'S NEW GUIDE BILL LAW, PERIOD! And the example you gave is why, a marked young man is a marked man for life which I don't agree with........

this bill is a abunch of B.S. if you ask me. now ever wanta be guide is going to go get them a license and call there selves a guide. the other thing that I think sucks, is we don't need any more goverment in our business.
