8 | Big Game Info: 402-471-0641 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. The definition of immediate family is: spouse, child, stepchild, spouse of child or stepchild, grandchild, step grandchild, spouse of grandchild or step grandchild, sibling sharing ownership or spouse of sibling. Minimum qualifications: • Deer and Antelope: RESIDENTS who own or lease 80 acres and NONRESIDENTS who own 320 acres. • Elk: RESIDENTS who own 320 acres or lease 640 acres and NONRESIDENTS who own 1,280 acres. For limited landowner permits and special landowner deer permits, the maximum number of permits or applications allowed for one farm or ranch is the total number of acres divided by the minimum. For example, a 240-acre farm could have a maximum of three resident landowner permits issued. No more than two special landowner deer permits will be issued to persons age 19 and older and six permits to persons younger than 19, per qualifying landowner. Landowner permit details and the application process for each species are in their respective species section. See OutdoorNebraska.gov and search for landowner-permits for details.
