Nebraska Hunters: Super Tag Lottery Deadline Nears, Deer Permits On Sale July 11

Super Tag Lottery Deadline Nears,
Deer Permits On Sale July 11.


The 2011 Big Game Guide is available online to help you plan
for the upcoming hunting season.

There is still time to enter the Nebraska Super Tag Lottery - if you act fast!

Midnight on July 1 marks the end of the entry period for this unique lottery. The winner will receive a combination permit with a bag limit of one elk, one antelope, one deer and two turkeys. Plus the bragging rights of being only the second person ever to hold this permit.

The lottery is open to Nebraska residents only, and all 'once-in-a-lifetime' bull elk permit holders are eligible to participate. The Super Tag permit is valid during 2011 and 2012, meaning you would have two years worth of hunting seasons to fill it.

Cost to enter the lottery is $25 (nonrefundable), and it can be entered online by clicking here. Just scroll down to the "Super Tag Lottery" section. (Nebraska residents can also enter the 2011 Bighorn Sheep Lottery while online; this lottery ends August 5.)

Deer Permits on Sale July 11

All remaining deer permits go on sale Monday, July 11 at 1 p.m. (CST). Residents and nonresidents alike may purchase permits, a large number of which feature bonus antlerless only tags.

A record number of permits is again available, and hunters have a number of season options to choose from. Of particular note is the October 1-10 antlerless season, which offers an early chance for firearm hunting in select unit for just $11 for residents or $55 for nonresidents.

The November firearm season is scheduled for November 12-20. Archers and blackpowder fans will be pleased to note that their seasons have been extended until January 18, 2012. Season Choice permit buyers will be able to hunt with a firearm during an extended late firearm season from December 26 to January 18, 2012.
For complete details and information, check out the 2011 Big Game Guide, available online or from any Nebraska Game and Parks office. A complete list of all opening dates and application periods can be found on our website.
