Duck Slam
You love it: being in the blind, setting up the spread, turning a flock, watching them cup, taking the shot and seeing a great retrieve. Duck hunting, now that’s time well spent. Nebraska Game and Parks, along with Ducks Unlimited have partnered up the past four years Nebraska Duck Slam, a challenge for duck hunters to take advantage of Nebraska’s great duck hunting opportunities.
Nebraska boasts a variety of wetland habitats that provide for different waterfowl hunting experiences across the state. The varied wetlands also provide opportunities at a diversity of ducks, whether it’s wigeon on a Sandhills lake, teal and pintails in the Rainwater Basins, or mallards on the Platte.
We would like to thank everyone who has participated in the Duck Slam during the 2019-2024 seasons and hope that you continue to share your waterfowl hunting photos with us through our Nebraska Game and Parks social media channels.
About the Duck Slam
During the Nebraska Duck Slam, hunters were challenged to harvest four birds — an American wigeon (drake), mallard (drake), Northern pintail (drake) and a teal (blue-winged or green-winged, either sex) – in Nebraska and receive an official certificate, Nebraska Duck Slam pin and bragging rights. Additionally, all hunters who completed the slam during the 2019-2023 seasons were registered to win prizes generously donated by Ducks Unlimited.
How it worked
To participate, hunters were required to purchase a Nebraska hunt permit, habitat stamp, waterfowl habitat stamp and federal waterfowl habitat stamp. After they harvested their first duck, the created an account on our official entry page and submitted a photo and details about their first bird. They continued to log their additional species to document their success.
Once a hunter completed the slam, they received an official pin and certificate.
