(E.g. 240 acres = 3 permits).

Big game permits Big game hunters in Nebraska must have a species-specific permit for deer, antelope, elk, turkey or bighorn sheep. Big game hunters, with select exceptions, are required to also purchase a Nebraska Habitat Stamp. A Nebraska hunt (small game) permit is not required.

Nebraska residents 16 years of age or older must have the permits and stamps required for the game species being hunted or trapped. The same Habitat Stamp will work for all species but must be purchased annually or for your lifetime.
