§ 502.150. Unlawful possession of wildlife without attached or validated tag; unlawful removal of tag
1. Whenever tags are required for any species of wildlife, it is unlawful to have
any of that species in possession without the correct tag. Before transporting any species of wildlife, or parts thereof, for which a tag is
required, the holder of: (a) A paper tag must attach the tag to the animal; or (b) An electronic tag must validate the tag in accordance with the regulations adopted
by the Commission pursuant to NRS 502.160 . Possession of any species of wildlife, or parts thereof, for which a tag is required
without an attached or validated tag, as applicable, is prima facie evidence that
the game is illegally taken and possessed. 2. It is unlawful to remove any tag from any wildlife for reuse or to be in possession
of excess tags or used tags. 3. Whenever tags are required for any species of fur-bearing mammal, possession of
a pelt of that species without the tag attached thereto or validated, as applicable,
is prima facie evidence that such pelt is illegally taken and possessed.
