Residency: The requirements to qualify as a Nebraska resident to buy a hunting permit: • Reside in Nebraska continuously for at least 30 days before making application for a permit and intend to become a Nebraska resident. • Residents in school in another state or stationed outside Nebraska as part of a military assignment who have maintained Nebraska as their state of legal residency. • Active-duty military personnel and full-time students stationed or attending school in Nebraska for a period of at least 30 days. NOTE: A new resident should be prepared to provide documentation of residency (driver's license, voter registration, etc.) to an officer when in possession of a permit. Buddy Applications: Nebraska allows hunters to apply as "buddies" to ensure that both or neither of their party will draw a permit in the same unit. "Buddy" applications are treated as one application in the drawing. The preference and bonus point level used will be determined by the lowest point total of the party (e.g. Applicant A has 3 points and Applicant B has 4 points, the application will be credited with 3 points). Buddy applications are limited to two applicants. Both applicants must have the same residency status. If applying by mail, both applications must be marked as "buddy" and submitted in the same envelope. If applying online, applications must be submitted as buddy applications. One check is allowed for payment. If paying by credit card, buddies must use the same card. LANDOWNER PERMITS Limited landowner and special landowner deer permits are available to qualifying landowners and their immediate family. An individual may qualify as a landowner by 1) owning the minimum amount of agricultural land, 2) leasing the minimum amount of agricultural land or 3) being a partner, officer, shareholder, or beneficiary designated as the qualifying landowner by a partnership, corporation or trust that owns the minimum amount of agricultural land. One third of limited elk and antelope permits are allocated to the limited landowner quota. All qualifying acres must be owned or leased for agricultural production. Hunting leases do not qualify. Landowners may only have one limited landowner permit per species per year and one special landowner deer permit per year. Immediate family is defined as the spouse of such person, any child or stepchild of such person or of the spouse of such person, any spouse of any such child or stepchild, any sibling of such person sharing ownership in the property, and any spouse of any such sibling.
