Big game meetings scheduled across Nebraska
Hunters and landowners are encouraged to offer their feedback on big game matters during the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s public meetings this winter.
These 2½-hour meetings are scheduled in each Game and Parks district. All in-person meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. local time. Two virtual meetings also are scheduled.
The first 30 minutes will be an open house with time to talk with wildlife biologists, conservation officers and staff. Biologists will make a presentation at 7 p.m. and discuss big game harvest results and season structure. Then they will take questions on topics such as big game management, depredation, permits, antlerless harvest, trophy management and diseases.
