How it works
First, buy your ticket to hunt all four species — your Nebraska hunt permit. After you harvest your first bird, create an account on our official entry page and submit a photo and details about your first bird. As you continue with other species, you can log back in to document your success.
Once you complete your slam for the 2020-2021 hunting season, you will receive an official pin and certificate.
Prizes
All hunters who submit at least one harvest to the Nebraska Upland Slam will be automatically entered into monthly drawings sponsored by Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever for tumblers, gun cleaning kits, metal artwork, PF/QF memberships, and more. New this season, resident hunters 15 or younger are encouraged to complete the slam to be entered into a separate drawing for a “Resident Youth Lifetime Hunt Permit.” Each hunter who completes the slam will be registered to win one of several great prizes including the grand prize, Browning Maxus 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun. The grand prize drawing will take place at the Pheasants Forever State Habitat Meeting in Kearney Feb. 13, 2021.
