I’m trying to find out the exact deadline for applying for deer hunting permits in Nebraska. I’ve heard mixed information about the dates, and I want to make sure I don’t miss out on the opportunity to apply this season.

Here are a few questions I have:

  • What’s the application deadline?
  • Are there different deadlines for different types of permits?
  • Is there a way to check my application status once I submit it?

I’ve done some searching, but the information seems a bit scattered. If anyone has accurate details or links to official sources, that would be really helpful! Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
