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
