Excitement is building: Nebraska's spring turkey shotgun season opens April 15. While nonresident permits were limited this year and have now sold out, Nebraska residents still have an opportunity to buy a permit [ [link removed] ] and take to the field.

Other changes this year include:


* Hunters now may purchase up to two spring permits instead of three.
* A hunter may harvest no more than one turkey per calendar day during the spring season.
* Starting with the spring season, all turkey harvests must be reported via Telecheck. You can easily do so online [ [link removed] ].

As always, safety should be top of mind. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded; always point the muzzle of your firearm in a safe direction; and be sure of your target. Read additional safety tips at our website.
