I shoot ground squirrels from a portable shooting bench on the ground. I was looking at the NV regs and ground squirrels are not a game animal and no license is required from what I can tell.
I know it is illegal to shoot from inside a vehicle be it parked or moving at game animals. My question is this. If someone mounts a shooting platform on the bed of the pickup and is parked on private property shooting non-game animals is this illegal? We stay in one spot all day (private property) and don't drive around. I've been thinking up plans in my head on building a platform for the bench as it would be easier to travel with vs dragging a trailer several hundred miles.
Anyone know? Thanks ahead of time.
Edit: The statute I've seen so far is this one.
NRS 503.010  Manner of hunting or trapping: Unlawful use of aircraft, helicopter, motor-driven vehicle, boat or transmitting device. It would be the subsection (2). It looks like it is legal so long as it's non-game animals and not across or along a public roadway.
1.  Except as otherwise provided in this section or subsection 2 of NRS 503.005, it is unlawful to harass any game mammals or game birds with an aircraft, helicopter or motor-driven vehicle, including a motorboat or sailboat.
2.  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, it is unlawful to shoot at any game mammals or game birds with a weapon from an aircraft, helicopter or motor-driven vehicle. A person who is a paraplegic, has had one or both legs amputated or has suffered a paralysis of one or both legs which severely impedes the person’s walking may shoot from a stopped motor vehicle which is not parked on the traveled portion of a public highway, but the person may not shoot from, over or across a highway or road specified in NRS 503.175.
