As you gather with family and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday, make time for some outdoor fun -- go pheasant hunting!

Fourteen wildlife management areas across Nebraska will be stocked with rooster pheasants ahead of Thanksgiving weekend. 

Nebraska hunting permits can be purchased and stored right on a mobile device, making it easy to get into the field. Nonresident hunters have the option of purchasing either an annual or two-day hunting permit for an upland hunting adventure.
