Section 503.310 - Use of traps or bird nets to take raptors
Universal Citation: NV Admin Code 503.310
Current through February 27, 2024
1. A raptor may be taken by a trap or bird net which is humane in its operation and use. All traps must be attended at all times. Raptors may not be taken by means of a steel-jawed trap or jump-trap. Apprentice falconry licensees may use only bal-chatri, harness or bow net traps in acquiring raptors.
2. As used in subsection 1:
(a) "Bal-chatri" means a hemispherical cage
on which many nooses are tied baited with a bird or mammal and placed in view
of a wild raptor to serve as a trap in which neither raptor nor bait is
injured.
(b) "Bow net" means a
circular hoop hinged in the middle and covered with netting. It is usually
attached to the ground so one side can swing freely.
(c) "Harness" means a light leather or cloth
saddle covered with nooses which is placed on tethered bait.
