Basin Range Park, Nevada is a concept for a second small game focused map like Salzweisen Park. This map would be smaller than the typical maps just like Salzweisen, and have a huge variety of small game, particularly upland species. The terrain would be a range of lowland arid environments to high mountain ranges, based on North and Northeast Nevada.

*-Denotes new species

Mammals:
Class 2- Coyote
Class 2- Bobcat
Class 2- American Badger*
Class 2- Kit Fox*
Class 2- North American Porcupine*
Class 1- Ringtail*
Class 1- White-tailed Jackrabbit
Class 1- Mountain Cottontail Rabbit*

Birds:
Class 1- Rio Grande Turkey
Class 1- Dusky Grouse
Class 1- Ruffed Grouse*
Class 1- Greater Sage Grouse*
Class 1- Chukar*
Class 1- Hungarian Partridge*
Class 1- Himalayan Snowcock*
Class 1- Ring-necked Pheasant
Class 1- Mountain Quail*
Class 1- California Quail*

18 species in total, 12 new species. Naturally some could be left out, but this is the majority of upland and small mammals typically hunted in Nevada that share a similar range in the north/northeast.

Let me know what you think!!

Like the map idea, curious on why American badger isn’t noted as a new species?

The new mammals: American badgers would behave much like the european badgers. Kit fox would provide a new fox species to the game. Porcupine could provide an opportunity for arboreal behaviors, but even if not provide a very unique model. Ringtail would be similar to pine marten, but also could be arboreal, and mountain cottontails are very similar to the existing eastern cottontails.

New birds: Ruffed grouse provide for a great backfill species, particularly to NEM and are a prized game bird. Sage grouse would have very interesting behaviors and models. Chukars and Hungarian partridge are very popular nonnative game birds. Himalayan snowcock are one of the rarest birds in America, only found in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada and would be numbered very little on the map. Mountain and California quail are also very interesting models and would be very fun to hunt.

Read the title: Its a Small Game Map that focuses on Class 1 and Class 2 Species in a manner similar to Salzwiesen Park

That is fair, and I am not sure I have seen someone put forward a big game focused Nevada reserve idea yet so if that is what you wish to see, make a thread for it

Personally cali quail should make a debut on their namesake state #1342986300466135050 and could easily be changed out for a different species here but thats my 2 cents

You could also drop your own idea here for a Nevada reserve it wouldn't hurt anything and could give the post more ideas and traction
