Nebraska's spring turkey archery season opens Thursday.

New features this year include $5 youth permits for residents and nonresidents; hunters may hunt in the archery and shotgun seasons under the authority of a spring permit; restrictions on the draw weight of archery equipment have been lifted; and limited landowner permit eligibility requirements loosened.

Wild turkeys are found in every Nebraska county.

The youth shotgun season begins April 10. Shotgun season for adults begins April 17. Archery and shotgun seasons end May 31.
