MOBILE TURKEY PERMITS AVAILABLE Turkey permits can be purchased, accessed or displayed on a mobile device. A mobile permit image can be displayed and saved on a phone or tablet. This permit fulfills the requirement of carrying a permit while eliminating the need to carry a paper version. The mobile version of the turkey permit also allows the permit holder the option to cancel that permit once a turkey is harvested. Internet service is required to access a mobile permit or the mobile site. Save the image of the permit to your device in case internet service is not available in the field. A paper copy of a permit can be a backup. To access or purchase a mobile permit, a user must first have created a profile in the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission's electronic permitting system. On the mobile site, permits and stamps can be purchased with a credit or debit card. Previously purchased permits and stamps also can be displayed and saved on mobile devices, except deer, antelope and elk permits. Visit OutdoorNebraska.org for a link to the mobile site and instructions on accessing mobile permits.

The public is invited to participate and help collect this information that is essential for sound turkey management. Please consider participating.
