New Nebraska license option. Please discuss
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2022 2:17 pm
Just got this from Nebraska. What do you think about a 3 bird a day limit with no species / sex restriction option?
Dear Migratory Gamebird Hunter:
We are reaching out to remind you about the continued opportunity of two-tier in the upcoming waterfowl season in 2022-2023.
To combat the long-term loss of waterfowl hunters, Nebraska and South Dakota have entered into a regulation experiment (two-tiered licenses) for the next three years. These tiered licenses are as follows:
• Tier I – The “traditional” six duck daily bag limit with species and sex restrictions (eighteen bird possession limit)
• Tier II – A three duck daily bag limit without species and sex restrictions (nine bird possession limit)
Every hunter will have the opportunity to pick which tier they would like during the HIP registration process, which is required to hunt migratory gamebirds.
The idea behind the two-tiered license system is to allow novice hunters that have not yet fully learned duck identification the opportunity to go waterfowl hunting without fear of breaking bag limit laws.
This will remove barriers in efforts to help recruit, retain, and reactivate waterfowl hunters. These efforts will also help ensure and maintain the waterfowl hunting heritage and provide funding for wetland conservation.
