The Nevada Department of Wildlife's Reno office is breaking out the extra chairs for what has historically been the most attended Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioner's meeting of the year.

On Saturday, the Board will be setting the tag quotas for the upcoming big game hunt season.

The tag quota setting meeting is scheduled for today at 1 p.m. and Saturday at 8:30 a.m., in the conference room of the NDOW Headquarters located at 1100 Valley Road.

Big game biologist Mike Cox will present a report on big game herd status, harvest analysis and quota development on Friday afternoon, and the Commission will then establish regulations for the numbers of tags to be issued for mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, bighorn sheep and mountain goats for the 2008-09 hunting seasons.

Proposed changes to regulations for mooring/anchoring vessels at Lake Tahoe, possible revision of boundaries of certain management areas, expanding the list of acts that constitute reckless or negligent operation of a vessel, as well as updates on the Clark County Shooting Park and the quagga mussel are all on the agenda for the upcoming meeting.

Members of the public who would like to address the Commission on a topic not on the agenda may do so during the public comment period near the beginning of each meeting.

People wishing to address the commission about those items should complete a speaker's card and present it to the recording secretary.
