**LIFETIME PERMITS

A Nebraska lifetime hunting or fishing permit is the most valuable gift you can give yourself or a special friend or relative. It represents a lifetime of exciting and pleasurable outdoor experiences.

As the name implies, the permit is valid for the life of the person to whom it is issued, even if the holder moves from the state and returns to hunt or fish.

Not included in this cost of Lifetime permits are special stamps including the Nebraska Habitat Stamp and the federal Waterfowl Stamp. These stamps must be purchased annually. No Aquatic Habitat Stamp is required for a Lifetime Fish or Lifetime Hunt and Fish permit.

Big-game permits for hunting antelope, deer, elk, sheep, or turkey, must also be purchased each year independent of the lifetime license. (Lifetime permit holders who move out of state are not eligible for resident big game drawings, but must apply during periods open to nonresidents).

It's easy to purchase a Nebraska lifetime hunting, fishing, or combination permit. Simply obtain an application form from any Game and Parks Commission office or from any of the 1,100 permit vendors across the state or download an application. Fill out the application and mail it with the proper fee to Game and Parks Commission, P.O. Box 30370, or 2200 N. 33rd, Lincoln, NE 68503.

A lifetime permit is the perfect birthday, Christmas or graduation gift. It truly is a gift that will last a lifetime.
