The funds donated through PIW are placed in the Wildlife Heritage
Trust Account, and the interest generated from these funds will
be used each year for special projects benefiting game species.
The account will one day become a stable, long-term source of revenue
for game management. PIW promises to benefit both Nevada's wildlife
and the sportsmen by providing voluntary support of game management
programs and providing a hunting opportunity that would not otherwise
be available to most sportsmen in Nevada.

Board of Wildlife Commissioners hereby delegates authority to
the Nevada Department of Wildlife to adjust season dates to

is no change to the overall length of the season. |
Partnership
in Wildlife (PIW) is a voluntary and optional participation program
that offers unique hunting opportunities to hunters for a few statewide
big game tags. A person with a PIW tag may hunt in any unit with
an open season for the species listed on the tag, during the season
dates when that unit is open for that species, and only with the
weapon authorized to be used during that open season.
