Wetland water conditions better than last year
Wetland conditions in the Rainwater Basin are better than last year but still variable statewide.
Hunters may begin purchasing 2024 Nebraska fall turkey permits at 1 p.m. Central Time Aug. 12.
A fall turkey permit still is valid statewide, but hunters are reminded of the significant changes that began with the 2023 fall season.
New for 2024, the price of a nonresident turkey permit, including issuing fee, has increased from $128 to $143. The nonresident landowner permit cost rose from $65.50 to $73. All youth turkey permits remain $8.
Visit the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s permitting site, GoOutdoorsNE.com, or a permitting office to purchase permits starting Aug. 12.
