Spring shotgun turkey season begins April 15
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 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.
Learn more in the 2023 Turkey Guide.
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.
