Turkey Permits Available Next Week

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says turkey-hunting permits will be available to buy starting Aug. 10. Turkey season runs from Sept. 15 through Dec. 31, and hunters may use either a shotgun or bow and arrow. A permit allows a hunter to kill no more than two turkeys during the season. A hunter may buy no more than two permits for the season. Turkey-hunting permits range in cost from $12.50 to $91 each, depending on the kind of permit sought and the residency of the hunter. This year will be the first time turkey hunting is allowed during the November firearm deer-hunting season. Turkey hunters hunting during deer season must wear at least 400 square inches of hunter orange on their head, chest and back.
