Get Your East Zone Grouse Apps In!
…I almost forgot!…on August 1, the NGPC began accepting applications for the East Zone Prairie Grouse Permits…each year, when the population can handle the harvest, a few hundred lucky hunters are allowed to hunt this zone, east of Hwy 81, for a rare upland prize – the greater prairie chicken…Nebraska is one of just a few states that even offers a season for this grassland royalty - which is lumped together with the sharp-tailed grouse to make up our “prairie-grouse” population……the permits are free, though you will need to have your 2010 (small game) Hunting Permit already purchased or your Hunter Education # if under 16 years old…if selected you can harvest up to 3 prairie grouse on the permit from the opener on September 18 to the last day of season on January 31, 2011 – which is 31 days longer than last year…plenty of time to find a trophy chicken…
…contact your local Game and Parks District Office for an application or call 402-471-5597…the adventure awaits – gotta get mine in today!…
