Thank You, Nebraska
I'm from northern Minnesota, but my mother is
originally from the Norfolk area and my aunt and
uncle live there. I've been visiting them and hunting
pheasants in Nebraska whenever I can for nearly 30
years.
The attached picture is from a great day of
hunting last Nov. 23 near Madison – a great day
of hunting in Nebraska made possible by the
graciousness of a private landowner allowing me
to pursue my passion and obtain a renewable food
resource!
Thanks for considering the photo, thought it
might be nice as a celebration of hunting if there is
ever room in an upcoming issue.
Sincerely,

Great article on getting permission to hunt and fish. For years
I hunted grouse north of Springview. Even after many years of
hunting I always had to go through much of the permission process
again. This would cost a lot of time I could have been hunting, as
they might not be home or would have to ask their spouses.
That changed after I did what I taught my students in Hunter
Education class. Fill out and sign a Nebraska Hunter Identification
card and give it to the landowner. Include your name, address, phone
number and vehicle license number.
After I did this, a phone call a few days before I wanted to hunt
was all it took. It even got me on land that I could not get on before
I used the card. Now I hand them the card and then introduce myself.
