Nebraska’s nine-day firearm deer season opens Nov. 10, giving individuals an opportunity to share a hunt with family or friends.
    As of Nov. 5, deer permits remain in the following management units: Blue Southeast, Buffalo Whitetail, Calamus East, Calamus West, Keya Paha, Loup East, Loup West, Missouri, Plains, and Platte Whitetail.
    Area check-in stations include the Dundy County Sheriff’s Office in Benkelman; Laker’s Delight in Enders; Farkleberrys in Hayes Center; the Red Willow County Sheriff’s office in McCook; the Hitchcock County Sheriff’s Office in Trenton; Mac’s Super Foods in Wallace and Wauneta Crossroads.
    The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission also reminds hunters:
    — Cash donations to the Hunters Helping the Hungry (HHH) program are encouraged so it can continue to feed Nebraskans in need by providing ground venison. HHH contracts with processors, who prepare and package ground venison from donated deer. Charitable organizations then pick up and distribute venison to Nebraskans. For more information about HHH or to make a cash donation, visit Outdoornebraska.gov/hhh.
