NEBRASKA 



Wildlife damage claims are processed through the 

 State Claim Board and, if approved, are passed on 

 to the legislature. 



If a special season is established to prevent 

 damage, the $20 license fee is divided between the 

 Commission and any landowner who can prove that a 

 designated game animal was shot on the landowner's 

 property. 



NEVADA 



Statute requires the Department to investigate 

 complaints according to Commission rules; the 

 Department may then take action to prevent or 

 alleviate damage. 



Since Nevada has not had a significant game damage 

 problem, complaints are treated on a case-by-case 

 basis. 



NEW MEXICO 



A statute allows the Department to grant permits 

 to landowners for the capture or destruction of 

 any protected game doing damage to cultivated 

 crops or property. 



The director must designate the number of animals 

 to be captured or destroyed and must set the time 

 limit for such activity. The problem animals are 

 mainly bear and lion.
