One thing I like is the sight of a fish coming over the side of a boat. That’s just one of the reasons I thoroughly enjoyed a boat ride Thursday with Al Hanson and Joe Rydell, fisheries biologists for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s northwestern district. Hanson, district supervisor, …
If you’re like me, you probably saw numerous bald eagles in Nebraska this winter and early spring — if not on the wing then in photographs circulating the Internet. The bald eagle’s resurgence is a true conservation success story. Today, though, I find it appropriate to give a little publicity …
[ Submitted by Commissioner Mick Jensen] After my last turkey hunting excursion to Lynch, Nebraska with Commissioner Fisher, I decided to try again with friends from Atlanta, Georgia and Minneapolis, Minnesota. After getting permission from Gene and Kelsey Timperely, we headed back to ranch country. Andy Smith had joined me …
Nebraska’s fish and fishing guru Daryl Bauer of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s Fisheries Division comes to your airwaves Saturday morning on The Great Outdoor Radio Show.

Nebraska’s spring turkey season has been in full swing for awhile now, time to give you my first report! My kids and I started doing some scouting a couple, three weeks ago. I will always tell you that in my opinion the key to being successful taking spring gobblers is …

Bringing Fort Hartsuff back to life, 67 Civil War re-enactors from Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa gathered this past weekend, April 13-14, to portray Fort McPherson in 1867. In this semi-immersive event, re-enactors lived, ate and slept like 19th century Union soldiers and civilians to offer visitors an accurate representation of …
If you are one of our youth fishing instructors ( http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/education/programs/youth_fishing/ ), I imagine you probably have already seen this. For the rest of you, there is a lot of information here you might be interested in as well. To all of our volunteers, I have said it before, but …
Just sharing some various images from the opening weekend of Nebraska’s Spring Shotgun Wild Turkey Hunting Season for you to enjoy. Now, you’ll know why I love spring wild turkey hunting here in the Cornhusker State so much!
What a great day of turkey hunting – although I chose to leave my bow at home and just shoot with my camera, it was an awesome day in the blind. I almost like to shoot things with my camera just as much as I do with a bow, gun …
Early Sunday morning the birds gave me a brief glimpse of the clutch and, as expected, there were three eggs. If anymore are on the way, expect it to arrive on Monday or Tuesday. Maybe by the time the female is done laying eggs spring will arrive? Maybe? …
