006.02 Resident Deployed Military Permits
The following regulations are prescribed by the Game and
				  Parks Commission, State of Nebraska in accordance with 37-421.01.
006.02A Purpose
A Nebraska resident who was issued a valid big game permit
				  (to include antelope, deer, elk, mountain sheep and wild turkey) and who was
				  deployed out of the state with a branch of the United States military shall,
				  upon returning to the state, be entitled to receive, on a one-time basis, a big
				  game permit for a fee of $5.00. Eligible residents may elect to receive a
				  refund of big game permit fees in lieu of receiving a $5.00 permit.
				  Additionally, a Nebraska resident who is or has been deployed out of the state
				  with a branch of the United States military within the last twelve months shall
				  be entitled to receive an annual combination fishing, hunting, and
				  furharvesting permit, habitat stamp, aquatic stamp and Nebraska migratory
				  waterfowl stamp on a one-time basis upon returning to the state for a fee of
				  $5.00.
006.02B Process:
Big Game Permits: Eligible Nebraska residents, upon
				  application, must provide the Commission, at its Headquarters, district or
				  Omaha offices, the original valid permit (or duplicate) purchased and a copy of
				  their official deployment orders verifying they were deployed out of state for
				  the entire established season for which the valid permit was issued.
Annual Combination Permits: Eligible Nebraska residents,
				  upon application, must provide the Commission, at its Headquarters, district or
				  Omaha offices, a copy of their official deployment orders verifying the
				  resident was deployed out of state within the past twelve months.
006.02B1 Discounted permits will be issued on
				a one-time basis to eligible residents and must be requested for the first
				established season following their return to the state. Discounted permit fees
				cover the permit only, any required stamps must be purchased in addition to the
				discounted permit.
006.02B2 Annual
				hunt and fish permits will be issued year-round. In the case of big game
				permits, applications will not be processed until the first "buy" application
				period of that permit type; permits will be issued through the end of the
				affected season.
006.02B3 Refunds
				for big game permit fees, in lieu of discounted permits, shall be issued by
				state warrant and require 3-4 weeks for processing. Eligible residents must
				complete an official request for refund form as provided by the Commission. The
				refunded amount will not include fees paid for
				stamps.
