The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and some of the state park areas, wildlife management areas, fisheries and trails it maintains were greatly impacted by recent catastrophic flooding. This is the most widespread damage the agency has experienced due to a natural disaster.

We are still working to evaluate the extent of the damage. However, we have taken some steps in order to begin the long process of repairing our impacted parks, wildlife management areas, trails and other areas.

Have you heard about our new Take ’em Hunting Challenge?

This fun promotion encourages experienced hunters to take a pledge to go hunting with someone who either has never hunted before or who hasn’t hunted in several years. Hunters who take a photo of themselves taking someone hunting can enter an online drawing for dozens of prizes (NGPC employees are not eligible).

Here’s where you can help. Tell your friends and family about it. Spread it on social media outlets. Most importantly, participate!

Whether you are a seasoned hunter or a novice, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is working on details that could allow you to be paired with a co-worker to participate in this challenge.

Hunting is fun, and hunters enjoy sharing their knowledge and passion with others – especially people they work with at Game and Parks.

Record your hunting adventures here.
