You can register for the Egg Shoot at the online PM Store and the entry fee is $50. You can also register for the Egg Shoot during the Convention at any time before the shoot.

The Egg Shoot will be held at the Elko County Shooting Range on Saturday morning Sept 16, 2017. You must be registered for the PM Convention to be eligible to compete in the Egg Shoot. If you can hit a chicken egg at 150 yards more times than the other attendees, you will win a custom made AR-15 rifle from Ritch's Precision Guns.

HUNTING!

As with past Conventions, Predator Masters is NOT organizing a hunt. Any hunting that is done must be arranged privately between attendees for camaraderie. There is NO hunting contest, NO hunting prizes, NO check in location, and NO paid guiding. What you get is a great opportunity to meet and interact with other members from all over the United States and other countries to exchange ideas, methods, and techniques. The hunting that time of year should be outstanding.

Here is a link to the Nevada game information, license requirements, and maps.

Nevada Department of Wildlife

Here is the license fees. Note that no license is required to hunt coyotes unless you intend to sell the pelts.

Fees

In the past, most attendees arrived on Wednesday so in order to participate in local activities Thursday morning incidental to attending the convention. In light of this, an orientation meeting will be provided by a representative of the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) on Wednesday evening, September 13, 2017 at 6:00 pm at the Red Lion Hotel in the Lamoille room which is down the hall to the west of the hotel desk. All attendees are encouraged to come. The NDOW representative will provide a briefing about the game laws and other applicable information. This will be the time to ask any questions you may have about predator hunting in Nevada.

Some species can be hunted in Nevada without a hunting license, but a trapping license is required to trap them: They include the coyote, black-tailed jackrabbit, badger, weasel, spotted skunk, striped skunk, raccoon and the ring-tailed cat.

NOTE: A trapping license is required for any person of any age who sells raw furs of any kind, whether taken by trap or by firearm

The roads are mostly rutted, rocky, or dirt/mud. A 4-wheel drive isn't required in most areas, but a vehicle with high ground clearance is. If you are renting a car, it would be best to get a truck or SUV type.

If you have a GPS unit, definitely get a chip for it that will display land ownership for Nevada. There is more public land here than you can travel. However, there is a diversity of land status too. There is private, BLM, state and Indian reservation. Get a chip! One of the sponsors of Predator Masters has GPS chips available for Nevada and they are OnX Maps


WE ALWAYS HAVE A BLAST!!!
