Archery season kicks off March 25, while shotgun season starts April 13. Prepare for your hunt by taking a look at the 2024 Turkey Guide, which includes helpful information like regulations, public access information, turkey ID tips and more.

Still time to take a hunter education course

Now is a great time to take a hunter education course, before spring turkey season gets underway.

Hunters ages 12 through 29 must take firearm hunter education to hunt any species with a firearm or air gun, and bowhunters age 12-29 must take bowhunter education to hunt deer, antelope, elk or bighorn sheep with a bow or crossbow.

Nebraska offers classroom, hybrid and online firearm and bowhunter education courses. Learn more and sign up at the link below.
