OutdoorNebraska.gov | 33 General Information PERMIT CANCELLATION Following the harvest of any big game animal, hunters immediately must punch or notch the permit or tag to indicate sex and date of kill. The canceled permit or tag must be attached to the animal or remain with the hunter if the carcass remains in the hunter's possession until completion of the check in process. CHECKING DEER, ANTELOPE AND ELK Registering your harvest of deer, antelope and elk is mandatory in Nebraska and must be completed before the carcass leaves the state. It is unlawful to separate a deer, antelope or elk carcass into sections smaller than quarters before completing the harvest check in process. Quartering is defined as four legs, with femur or scapula naturally attached, and loins. • Deer harvested during the November firearm season must be delivered to a check in location or checked via Telecheck no later than 1 p.m. on the day following the close of the season. A list of check stations may be found on the deer regulation sheets and at OutdoorNebraska.gov. • Each permit holder must accompany the deer to the check station and check in their deer. • Deer harvested outside the November firearm season and all antelope and elk must be checked via Telecheck within 48 hours of kill and before 1 p.m. on the day following the close of the season. • Permit and check station seal number or check station verification number must be retained when transporting all or a portion of the carcass to a point of permanent storage or processing. Hunters must record the seal number on their permit. TELECHECK • Telecheck allows hunters to check deer, antelope or elk by phone or online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. See OutdoorNebraska.gov and search "Telecheck" for more information. • There are several ways to access and complete your harvest report: 1. Scan the QR code on your permit with your smartphone. 2.
