Nebraska Big Game Society to auction elk permit March 6 

A bull elk permit will be auctioned by the Nebraska Big Game Society on March 6 in Lincoln. The 14th annual meeting and auction will be at Hillcrest Country Club, 9401 O St, Lincoln.

Residents and nonresidents are eligible for the bull elk permit. The high bidder will receive a bull elk permit valid in any elk management unit during a 2025 open bull elk season; legal weapons for that season must be used.

Additional items and outdoor experiences will be auctioned at the event. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for wildlife conservation, research and big game hunting opportunities in the state. The Nebraska Big Game Society has generously contributed $1,141,275 raised from 13 auctions to support wildlife habitat and the conservation of elk, antelope, bighorn sheep and other big game.

Tickets for the banquet are $125 each or $850 for a table of eight guests. Dinner is at 6:15 p.m., and the auction begins at 7:15 p.m.

Send requests for tickets or to register as a call-in bidder, including phone number, to nbgs11@gmail.com. Due to limited capacity for call-in bids, early registration is appreciated.
