Nevada to Initiate First-Ever Moose Hunting Season Amid Population Boom

The state aims to manage the burgeoning moose numbers with a limited hunt, sparking debate over wildlife conservation and climate change impacts.

Nevada announces its first-ever moose hunting season for fall 2024, aimed at managing the rapidly growing population.
The decision is driven by a notable increase in moose numbers over the past five years, with a current population exceeding 100.
Scientists see the hunt as a chance to study climate change effects on wildlife, as moose expand into warmer southern territories.
Controversy arises over the ethical considerations of hunting moose, with some preferring observation over killing.
The hunt will be limited, with a maximum of three permits expected to be issued, exclusively to Nevada residents.
