Revised Statues - Chapter 37 Game and Parks
37-227: Killing of wild turkey; permit required; fee; issuance.
The commission may issue permits for the killing of wild turkey and prescribe and establish regulations and limitations for the hunting, killing, transportation, and possession of wild turkey. The number of such permits may be limited as provided by the regulations of the commission, but the permits shall be disposed of in an impartial manner. Such permits may be issued to allow killing of wild turkey in the Nebraska National Forest and other game reserves and such other areas as the commission may designate whenever the commission deems that permitting such killing would not be detrimental to the proper preservation of wildlife in such forest, reserves, or areas. The commission shall, pursuant to section 81-814.02, establish and charge a fee of not less than fifteen dollars and not more than twenty dollars for residents and not less than fifty dollars and not more than sixty-five dollars for nonresidents for each permit issued under this section. The commission may issue nonresident permits only after a reasonable time has first been provided solely for issuance of resident permits. If the commission issues nonresident permits, the issuance of resident permits shall continue until permit quotas have been filled or a reasonable cutoff date reached. The provisions of section 37-215 for the distribution of deer permits also shall apply to the distribution of wild turkey permits. No permit to hunt wild turkey shall be issued without payment of the fee required by this section.
