Take 'em Hunting

Take a beginner hunting, snap a photo in the field and share your stories!

Share your passion for hunting

There are many reasons to love hunting. Hunting allows us to connect with nature while spending time in the blind. It’s about enjoying a beautiful morning, testing your patience, and honing your skills. And it’s about passing on a tradition that someone passed down to you.

We challenge you to go hunting and share your passion with someone you care about. It doesn’t matter if they’re brand new to hunting, or if they just haven’t gone in a few years. Take ’em hunting.

Read and share Take ’em Hunting stories on social

Over the past four years of the Take ’em Hunting program, we’ve read and shared so many inspiring, surprising, sometimes humorous and often heartwarming hunting stories. Many of them have been shared across Nebraska Game and Parks social media channels and in our Facebook Albums. Find or share a Take ’em Hunting story on social media by using the hashtag #TakeEmHunting and be sure to tag us @NEgameandparks on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Why Hunting?

Hunting is critical to the conservation of our natural resources. Every time a hunter buys a hunting permit or habitat stamp, his or her purchase directly funds programs that support habitat conservation, hunting access, wildlife research and much more.

Additionally, excise taxes that hunters pay on firearms, ammunition and other hunting equipment generate an additional $1 billion for conservation work each year. It is crucial that we recruit a new generation of hunters to maintain our cherished natural resources. The best thing a hunter can do for conservation is to introduce someone new to hunting.
