8 | Big Game Info: 402-471-0641 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 (Group) Applications: Nebraska allows hunters to apply as "buddies" to ensure that all or none 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 six applicants. All applicants must have the same residency status. If applying by mail, all applications must be marked as "buddy" and submitted in the same envelope. If applying online, applicants must select the "group" application. Changes to your buddy status or your unit choice may be made before the end of the application period by logging into your account at GoOutdoorsNE.com. See OutdoorNebraska.gov for additional information. PURCHASING POINTS Applicants may purchase a preference or bonus point in lieu of participating in the drawings for antelope, deer or elk permits.
