Nebraska deer hunters can expect a big change in how this year’s firearm deer season will be conducted.
This year, Nebraska Game and Parks will not run check stations during the Nov. 14-22 firearm deer season; instead, all deer must be checked electronically via Telecheck.
The Telecheck process must be completed within 48 hours of the harvest or by 1 p.m. on the day following the season.
Safety is a top priority, and this decision allows hunters and check station workers to avoid close contact, protecting public safety.
Online Telecheck is available at the Nebraska Game and Parks website. You’ll be required to log:
- Species of the animal
- Their permit number and name confirmation
- County where harvest was made
- Whether the deer was harvested on private, public or Open Fields and Waters Program land, and the name of the area if on public land
- Management unit
- Date of harvest
- Number of days hunted
- Method of harvest (archery, firearm, etc.)
- Sex of the animal
- Whether the animal was an adult or fawn
- Whether the antlers, if present, have a spread of more or less than 11 inches between the main beams
Once you’ve registered, you will receive a seal number that must be written on the canceled deer permit. Deer may not leave the state until registered.
If you have problems using the online system, you can call your local Game and Parks district office or service center between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. during the season. You can also complete Telecheck by calling 844-279-4564, available 24 hours a day.
There’s something about the deer-hunting experience, indefinable yet undeniable, which lends itself to the telling of exciting tales. This book offers abundant examples of the manner in which the quest for whitetails extends beyond the field to the comfort of the fireside. It includes more than 40 sagas which stir the soul, tickle the funny bone, or transport the reader to scenes of grandeur and moments of glory.
