The October 18th and 19th statewide youth pheasant, quail, and partridge season for hunters ages fifteen and younger provides an opportunity to mentor new hunters.
“The annual youth season provides a great opportunity for our young hunters to get out and hunt in a low-pressure environment,” said Bryan O’Connor, upland game program manager for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. “This is an excellent chance for young hunters to gain experience and hone their skills.”
Resident youth (age fifteen or younger) do not need a permit to hunt small game, but nonresident youth must have a small game hunting permit and habitat stamp. Only youth are allowed to hunt during the youth season, except at designated Special Youth Hunt locations, where accompanying adults also are allowed to hunt.
