Don't miss the Oct. 29 opener

The excitement is building: Nebraska's pheasant and quail season is almost here. Tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 29, is opening day, so make sure you are ready to go.

Here are a few resources we recommend for a good hunt:

• Upland Game Bird Hunting Outlook: Learn what to expect in the field, including bird numbers, weather conditions and habitat/access trends, in this handy guide. Check it out online.
• Public Access Atlas:?With over 1.2 million acres of publicly accessible lands, Nebraska offers an abundance of public, walk-in hunting opportunities for upland game birds. Find them in the Public Access Atlas.

Remember to share your hunt with an aspiring hunter, and submit a photo of your adventure online to enter the?Take' em Hunting challenge. You could take home a John Deere Gator for doing so!

Find additional resources on our website, and get ready for opening day tomorrow.?
