Hunting Big Game in Nebraska
Nebraska boasts a diverse array of big game species that can be hunted, including whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, and bighorn sheep, in addition to wild turkeys.
Deer Hunting
Whitetail and mule deer hunting in Nebraska is a popular activity among both residents and nonresidents, with annual hunting opportunities available. One of the advantages of hunting in Nebraska is that deer hunting permits are available over-the-counter with no draw required, and the cost of permits is relatively affordable compared to other states. Furthermore, hunters in Nebraska have the option to pursue either whitetails or mule deer, and are allowed to harvest up to two deer per season.
Pronghorn and Elk
Pronghorn and elk populations in the northwest corner of Nebraska offer more limited but consistent hunting opportunities. Bighorn sheep, on the other hand, provide great viewing opportunities and limited hunting opportunities in some years.
Wild Turkey Hunting
Nebraska is also known for its thriving Merriam's wild turkey population, which can be found in every county in the state. Turkey hunting in Nebraska is continuously improving, making it a popular choice among hunters.

Words truly describe my Alaska adventure, but I'll try.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.
