The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will conduct its annual grouse wing collection during the upland season that started Sept. 1.
Hunters in the zone east of U.S. Highway 81 already are required to send in wings, but hunters in the zone west of the highway also are encouraged to participate. Hunters in the east zone are required to have a “special grouse permit” prior to hunting, in addition to a hunt permit and habitat stamp.
This special grouse permit is free, but availability is limited to 400 overall and one per hunter. Requests for his permit are accepted in person at the Game and Parks headquarters in Lincoln, by telephone at 402-471-5431, by mail or by email at [email protected].
