Nebraska Non-resident tags

It appears Nebraska just shut down all non-resident turkey tag sales for the rest of the year. If you had them already they will be honored, if not you are out of luck. Should be an announcement made tomorrow.

If its true, a lot of other states bout to have a heck of a day in non-res online sales tomorrow!

They will follow suit too.

That is why a fellow better buy 'em tomorrow!

Thanks for the heads up. Just purchased my KY license

why are they doing that???

They using coronavirus as an excuse to save their turkey population from all the southerners that go up there and whack the hail out of them.

That would stink if a guy waited to buy them after traveling there. Might have created poachers.

When I went I bought 2 prior and the 3rd once I filled the first 2.

Ky governor is apparently attempting to stop travel out of Kentucky. Only a matter of time before they stop travel coming in. I hope your hunting there soon.

He has actually prohibited out of state travel. I'm glad I had already got my Nebraska tags earlier this year.

I just checked Kansas Fish and Wildlife website. As of today, it says Spring turkey season will go on as planned and there is no mention of cancelling the sale of out of state tags.

When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free

Damn

Thanks for the info. I purchased all out of state licenses and tags today.

Just got my Tennessee License today just incase

I think I'm gonna wait and see how everything thing plays out before I buy licences.

I might get stuck and can't travel after Bamas season but it would be worse to get stuck with licences and not be able to travel.

I agree on that

I here ya Hank. I got 300 worth of Iowa tags I may have to eat

Just got a text from Nebraska that their non resident turkey season was suspended

Unless you already have tags. If you do they will allow you to hunt.

Sale of turkey permits to nonresidents suspended
As a past Nebraska turkey permit purchaser, we wanted to make you aware of recent changes regarding Nebraska’s Spring Turkey season.

In a proactive effort to prevent the potential for spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we are suspending the sale of nonresident spring turkey hunting permits and temporarily closing state park lodging reservations.

This is being done by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission in coordination with Gov. Pete Ricketts Executive Order No. 20-11 to help protect the health of Nebraskans by discouraging unnecessary travel.

If you have already purchased a permit, you will still be able to hunt in Nebraska this season, but will not be able to purchase additional permits. Since we know many states and individuals are limiting travel, should you not be able to follow-through on your hunting plans this season, we will offer a full refund of your permit/stamp purchase.

Nonresidents with purchased, but unfilled, Nebraska turkey permits will be contacted by email or U.S. mail in the next week with additional information about this option.

To protect our customers and staff, we have closed all our offices and activity centers where individuals would congregate. Additionally, Nebraska State Park cabins and lodging will be temporarily closed April 1 to 30. Campgrounds will remain open for the time being; Tent camping and RV camping are available and will be evaluated regularly, following state and federal directives as well as those of local health departments. All park areas remain open for day use.

You can keep up to date on all cancellations, postponements and closures for Nebraska Game and Parks at OutdoorNebraska.org/HealthInfo.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in hunting Nebraska and hope you are able to schedule a future trip to enjoy the best-in-the-nation turkey hunting Nebraska offers. Our fall turkey season runs Sept. 15 through January 31, 2021; we hope to see you back this fall or next spring chasing wild turkeys in Nebraska.

I hope you are right buddy, but that ain’t what the text said. I will forward it to you l

You are right, I clicked the link

I promise you I read it well. I'm done out on Kansas because my buddy isnt traveling to his farm.

Nebraska professionally pimps out their wildlife. I get emails from them 2-3 times a week about this or that. I've hunted there a fair amount. I took my son out there 3 years ago during youths season and he killed 3 gobblers in 2 days on public. I decided last time I went(last year) I wasn't going back. It can still be good obviously, but it is a pale shadow of what it used to be. Y'all tear it up out there!

I had my heart set on going back to Nebraska this year. Went up there in 2015 and really enjoyed it. Very rural and old Mayberry small town feel to it. It’s just a journey, 18 hour drive to where I’d hunt. The guy I was going to hunt with on private land ask if I had already bought my tag last night and I said no. He informed me I would not be able to hunt with him and said we’d try it next year. Explained what was going on . Now I’m trying to figure out where to go hunt. I look forward to a 2 or 3 day out of state hunt all year long and don’t want this virus stuff to keep it from happening, considering ill pack food and avoid all the people I can. Thinking Oklahoma now
