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. We have much to talk about when it comes to fishing here in the Cornhusker State this spring, don’t we? Absolutely! I …
[ Submitted by Christy Christiansen-Outdoor Education Specialist NGPC ] As an avid outdoor educator, I have taught myself to never pass up an opportunity to learn something new. I got one of those chances recently when I teamed up with Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s (NGPC) Fisheries Division for the …
As some may already know, the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a long-term, volunteer-driven bird monitoring program conducted throughout North America. BBS data are used widely by wildlife agencies, researchers and in conservation planning. More information can be found here. Recently, I took over as the state BBS coordinator and …
Just a quick blog post today, a reminder of the Trout Unlimited Nebraska banquet coming up this Saturday evening. If you believe in trout and the habitats in which they are found, and who doesn’t?, plan to be there! There will be lots of raffle prizes and auction items, and …
I can hardly wait until Tuesday (tomorrow) afternoon! I’ll be swinging by Game and Parks Headquarters on UNL’s East Campus to pick up my conservation compatriot Daryl Bauer of our Game and Parks Fisheries Division, and then it’s down the street to Hardin Hall Room 228 to Dr. Lisa Pennisi’s …
Not sure when it started. Perhaps when I was 16 and could drive myself. Maybe I was younger and the day just happened to fall on a weekend. Regardless, I have tried my best to hunt the final day of the bird season each year, and I have succeeded for …
Always take a camera with you. When you don’t, you may see six raccoons sitting on the same tree limb in perfect sunset light. If it happened to me, it will happen to you. But aside from twice-in-a-lifetime photos, take a camera so you can see what your camera can do. …

I am “out” on an adventure, deep in the Nebraska sandhills (i.e. “God’s Country”!). I will take some time to tell you all about it when I get back. For now, just a quick post for the weekend. This commercial is extremely corny, stupid. . . . And that is …
Sharing some fun, crazy pics with you from my many outdoor travels throughout Nebraska over the years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did shooting them!
I could not resist. It was cold, bitter cold, but I had to get out just one more day to enjoy one of my favorite hunts…squirrel with a handgun. Usually it is a single action pistol but this time it had to be the racier semi-auto. Good thing…I needed it! …
