*Nebraska Turkey Season UPDATE

[Jordan Budd]

Nebraska Game and Parks have shut down all non-resident turkey license sales. The way I understand it, if you already purchased your license in the brief 10 days it was open you are still good to use it. Residents can purchase and use as usual. But big change to non-residents.

100% of our clients are non-residents and none purchased tags before this. I have our turkey leases paid in full so the virus has officially hit home for us.

More fear. Get ready for other states to follow.

Noooo! Count me on the list of people planning to hunt NE but waiting to buy a tag until the last minute just in case something like this happened.

Sorry to hear that! Crazy year so far, hoping things shape up soon.

 

[KHNC]

I always buy my tags in advance anyway. But i wasnt going this year. Too bad they resort to this

That sucks, was hoping to hunt merriams in a month.

Damn you Nebraska! Hope the rest don't fall like dominos. Have/had plans to hunt OK, KS, TX, AL, and possibly NM. Glad we got in FL, and GA out of the way already.

I believe KS is in the process or is shut down now. There are public lands being closed in Illinois I know. The part that really gets me with Nebraska is they haven’t told anyone.... they signed a bill that shut it down but won’t tell anyone. Buddy called this morning and the guy said “I can’t comment”. Like WTF.

Damn. Curious how this will cause dominoes for other states this spring and how far into the year it goes.

Bigger question, how long until it doesn't matter if you bought your tag, you cannot come hunt? Weird times.

I'm thinking the same thing as far as shutting the rest of it down. Could be a matter of time.

Sorry to hear that Jordan as I know most wait until they get to town to buy their license.

Here is a link to Nebraska’s statement about this that they posted on their website.

Turkey - Nebraska Game & Parks Commission

Since their reintroduction in the Pine Ridge in 1959, the wild turkey has been wildly successful in Nebraska, with turkeys found statewide.

They also shot a text out this afternoon to people registered with them. Still trying to convince myself to put all of my gear away. Bummed.

Waiting for fishing license to take the same path. Probably not but could see it occuring.

They are shutting down access to a ton of public land tomorrow here in central and south FL. They have already shutdown access to all the public waterways and ocean access. This is getting out of hand.

If you live in a rural area, count your blessings. I no longer just live in a concrete jungle, I am now a prisoner of one.
