General Forum / Re: 10,000 Nebraska turkey tag...
Last post by PalmettoRon - Today at 08:30:19 AM
I bought NR permits in 2024 and 2025 after many years of not hunting Nebraska. I figured since the permits were gone last year in just over a day, I probably would need to buy early.

A group of friends and I were planning on going on a hike and just to be sure I got back early, I drove alone instead of carpooling.

I logged on at around 3:20 Eastern and felt I was in good shape as the sale had only been going  since 2:00 Eastern. To my surprise, it took me 10 minutes to get through the queue and by the time I got through the queue there were only 900 tags of the 10,000 left and I got my 2 permits.

In another 20 minutes, they were all gone.

I'm retired, so I had an advantage. I personally think a draw would be a much fairer system for those working, in school, traveling, sick, etc.

I prefer draws with a bonus point system over one using preference points, as you have a have a chance every year, albeit a better chance if you have bonus points. With preference points, you will eventually know you will draw, but there will be times, you'll pay to play with no chance to draw.

All I do know is that what NE is doing most certainly is disenfranchising many, many people through no fault of their own.

If things remain the same in NE, I'll be sitting on my computer locked and loaded for the opening bell. A draw just seems a more fair way to give everyone a chance to hunt.

Additionally, NE should at a minimum post the date and time of the sale much earlier. I'm sure some people are just finding out today that this sale has come and gone.

Does Mark Sharpe take orders for calls?  Does he have them available at Unicoi?  Been interested in his cane yelper and his wingbones for some time.

It's a beauty!  Trumpet looks like a new design.

No idea. I have one of his trumpets and it's been several years since I talked to him.
