Fall turkey season is right around the corner, beginning on October 1. Nebraska Game and Parks is reminding hunters of changes that first became effective last fall.
- The fall turkey season is October 1 to November 30
- Each hunter may only have one fall permit
- The bag limit allows the take of one turkey of either sex with a shotgun or archery equipment
- All turkey harvests must be reported via Telecheck. Turkeys may be checked by internet at OutdoorNebraska.gov/hunt/telecheck or by phone at 1-844-279-4564. This information will be on the permit.
Those wishing to purchase permits, which are valid statewide, can do so at OutdoorNebraska.gov and at Game and Parks permitting offices.
Scouting as much as possible is encouraged of hunters in order to improve the chance of success this season. More than a million acres of publicly accessible lands are available in Nebraska, identified on the 2024-2025 Public Access Atlas. In addition, more than 382,000 acres of private lands are enrolled in the Game and Parks Open Fields and Waters Program. The atlas is online at OutdoorNebraska.gov in formats including atlas map, offline atlas (mobile friendly), digital flipbook, and Google Earth KMZ.
