Southern Nevada hunters who want to learn more about Nevada's big game management programs and the annual tag application process can attend a free informational workshop hosted by the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

Information on big game management, tag quotas and allocations, draw odds, harvest data, bonus points, common application errors and the computerized draw will be presented.

New procedures for this year's drawing will also be discussed. Participants will also learn how to use the department Web site to find information about everything from hunting to the number of bonus points an individual has earned.

The workshop is scheduled for Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Commission Chambers at the Clark County Government Center, 500 Grand Central Parkway. Reservations are not required. Call the department at 486-5127 extension 3501 for more information.

The department protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety.

The department's wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen's license and conservation fees and a Federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear.

Outdoors enthusiasts support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org.
