Looking for a place to hunt? Check out the Public Access Atlas, which displays over 1.2 million acres of lands open to public hunting across Nebraska.

Also, don't forget to bring a newcomer in the field with you and snap a photo to enter the Take 'em Hunting challenge. You could walk away with a new John Deere Gator from AKRS Equipment!
