Pheasant Hunting Nebraska- A directory of Nebraska pheasant hunting locations

The Ringneck Pheasant is a common permanent resident across Nebraska. This wiley bird can be found throughout the year in croplands, ditches, wooded areas, and shelter belts. Pheasants often nests in ditches, alfalfa fields, and areas with heavy grass cover. In Nebraska, state wildlife areas are open to fishing, hunting, and trapping, in season, except where closed (or restricted) by signing or special area regulations. In addition to the thousands of acres of state wildlife areas Nebraska also has many controlled shooting areas across the state where you can hunt pheasants.

A controlled shooting area is regulated by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. These operations offer varying seasons, bag limits, and other individualized regulations. Nebraska residents must have a resident hunting permit and a habitat stamp to hunt on a Controlled Shooting Area. Nonresidents must have a habitat stamp and either a Controlled Shooting Area permit (which is good only for one particular Controlled Shooting Area) or the general nonresident permit.
