Begin purchasing 2024 permits now

During the busy holiday season, don’t forget to purchase Nebraska Game and Parks Commission permits for the upcoming year. The 2024 annual hunt (small game), fishing, fur harvest and state park entry permits are now available online, at district offices and parks near you.

While buying a permit for yourself, consider buying one as a gift for a friend or family member. These permits are valid Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2024.

A Nebraska vehicle park entry permit is an affordable way for families and friends to have fun outdoors. It is an incredible value, providing everyone in the vehicle access to more than 75 state park, recreation areas and state historical parks for the year. Get one to explore miles of trails, watch wildlife and get in touch with nature — or to attend one of many special park events hosted year-round.

Those interested in fishing or hunting also can buy a permit valid statewide. Catch fish all year, on public waters, local ponds, well-known reservoirs or even cold-water streams. Or snag your hunt permit to continue upland, squirrel, rabbit or some waterfowl hunting early in the new year. (Be sure to verify season dates at OutdoorNebraska.gov.)

Remember: Spending time in the outdoors is good for your physical and mental well-being, and it’s an investment in Nebraska’s natural resources for the future.

Age and residency restrictions apply to some permits. Stamps also may be required. For more information on permits, including how to purchase them, visit OutdoorNebraska.gov or a Game and Parks office.
