HUNTING AREA
Permits are valid statewide, except on state
and federal sanctuaries or refuges, unless
otherwise authorized.
TAGGING
Immediately after a turkey is taken, the
hunter must punch or notch the permit tag
showing the date the bird was taken. This
automatically cancels the permit tag. This
permit must be kept with the permit holder
and/or turkey at all times. When the turkey is
not with the permit holder, the entire permit
must be attached to the turkey. The mobile
turkey permit allows a hunter to cancel
the permit once a turkey is harvested. If a
hunter has a mobile permit, a turkey may
be left unaccompanied by the hunter only
if a document bearing the hunter's name,
permit number and time and date of permit
cancellation is kept with the carcass.
TURKEYS MUST BE CHECKED
It is required that all turkeys
harvested in Nebraska be checked in
via internet at OutdoorNebraska.gov/
hunt/telecheck/ or by phone (number
is printed on the turkey permit) in a
process known as Telecheck. This
process must be completed:
• within 48 hours of harvest but
no later than 1 p.m. on the
day following the close of any
portion of the season
• before the turkey carcass leaves
Nebraska
Mobile permits must be cancelled
and checked immediately after the
harvest of the turkey.
