NEBRASKA – What was once a premier pheasant hunting destination, simply isn’t anymore. However, the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission plans to change that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are someone\u00a0like me, you will be ecstatic to\u00a0hear that the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission\u00a0has approved and put a plan in motion\u00a0to improve pheasant hunting throughout the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing up (and still to this day), it was not uncommon to hear my dad and uncles telling “back in the day”\u00a0stories about\u00a0how good the pheasant hunting use to be in\u00a0Nebraska. Excellent pheasant hunting in Nebraska\u00a0is something I have never had the privilege to experience.<\/p>\n

After doing some research, I found that in the mid-1960’s and earlier there were over 1.4 million pheasants harvested each season by approximately 140,000 hunters in the state of Nebraska. Now the numbers are much, much lower. Coming in at 29,000 hunters harvesting around 131,000 pheasants.<\/p>\n

What is the reason for such a big decrease?\u00a0One of the reasons is that\u00a0upland habitat is being converted\u00a0to farmland because of commodity prices, another reason\u00a0is the weather. Both of these\u00a0things are out of the state’s control, so there is not much that can be done from that front, but fortunately for myself and other hunters around the state (and country) the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission has a developed a 5 year plan in hopes of\u00a0turning Nebraska back into one of the best states for pheasant hunting.<\/p>\n

The Nebraska Game and Parks\u00a05 year conservation “Mega Plan” aims to improve\u00a0pheasant hunting throughout\u00a0the state and\u00a0provide hunters with an unforgettable\u00a0pheasant hunting experience.<\/strong> \u00a0The plan seeks to improve\u00a0and manage pheasant populations, improve, enhance and create upland game habitat on more than 805,000 acres of land, increase public access to 122,000 more acres of hunting land, increase the number of hunters\u00a0and help boost the rural economies throughout the state.<\/p>\n

The estimated total cost of this plan over 5 years is $26.4 million\u2014or $5.9 million a year. In turn, upland game hunting, lodging and all the other costs that come along with it amount to $47 million that goes to the local rural communities around Nebraska.<\/p>\n

In order for this plan to work, it requires numerous public\/private partnerships to increase the amount of pheasant hunting land in Nebraska.<\/p>\n

This is fantastic news for the outdoorsman and the state of Nebraska. I am excited to see this plan put into action\u00a0and put Nebraska back on the map as a great upland game hunting state.<\/p>\n
