ByHow to Get Your Nebraska Hunting License The Fast and Easy Way
Many Nebraska residents, and people all over the United States, love nothing more than getting up before the crack of dawn to go hunting with friends or family. Nebraska is home to plenty of wildlife, including pronghorn, elk, deer, waterfowl, and small game, making it an excellent place for hunting enthusiasts to live or visit. However, before you go out on a hunt, you will need to obtain a Nebraska hunting license.
Failure to get the proper license can result in fees and misdemeanors on your record. Those fees can range from $50 to over $1,000 depending on the situation and animals being hunted. The good news is that it has never been easier to get a Nebraska hunting license, thanks to DoNotPay!
Who Can Get a Nebraska Hunting License?
Anyone in the state of Nebraska can get a hunting license. All residents ages 16 and older must have a resident hunting permit and a Habitat Stamp. All non-residents must have a non-resident hunting permit and a Habitat Stamp.
You need an education certificate if you are 12 through 29 years old, and you must carry proof of successful completion of firearm hunter education while hunting with a firearm or airgun. Nebraska offers in-person and online hunting education courses, and the certification costs about $30.
There are several types of hunting licenses in Nebraska, including:
- Resident hunting permit for those who have lived in Nebraska for at least 30 days. Active-duty military members and students who live in Nebraska and attend a school in the state are considered residents.
- Non-resident hunting permit for those visiting the state and want to hunt
- Youth hunting permit for those under the age of 15
- Senior hunting permit for those who are age 69 or older and get a discount
Hunting permits, and subsequent stamps, are good for the calendar year, though Nebraska residents and non-residents also have the option to purchase a lifetime hunting license and stamp.
