Nebraska offers an amazing turkey hunting experience. The
state offers plentiful and affordable permits, long seasons,
great public access and $5 permits for youth. Turkeys can be
found in every county of the state, and hunters will find good
turkey opportunities on more than 500,000 acres of public and
public-access land in Nebraska. Additionally, Nebraska is the
easternmost state with large populations of highly sought after
Merriam's turkeys. All these factors allowed Game and Parks to
position Nebraska as the nation's top turkey hunting destination
to nonresident hunters. As a result, the number of nonresidents
who visited Nebraska to hunt turkey increased, as did the state's
reputation as a turkey hunting hotspot. The campaign will
continue in 2017 and beyond.
