30 Nebraskaland • November 2020
Outdoor Nebraska
By Renae Blum
November is rich with hunting opportunities, but that isn't the only thing
to do outside. Fishing, wildlife viewing and park visits can all add up to a
month fi lled with great outdoor memories.
N
Harvest your own
Thanksgiving turkeys
Throughout the month | Statewide
Put something "wild" on the holiday table — serve a wild turkey or two that
you harvested yourself. Not only does it give the non-hunter in the family the
chance to try wild game, it's also a great conversation piece. Remember that
you can easily combine a wild turkey hunt with any other hunt, especially a
deer hunt, and you're allowed two birds of either sex on one permit in Nebraska.
Fish for trout at
Lake Ogallala
Throughout the month
A good trout fi shery year-round, Lake
Ogallala off ers the biggest trout in the
state, up to 8 pounds and perhaps more.
And unlike some species of warm-water
fi sh, cold-blooded trout stay active and
catchable into November. Bring a variety
of baits and try your luck for a large trout!
