To enforce the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska's hunting/fishing code and local ordinances regulating animal ownership on the Winnebago Indian Reservation.

The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska is proud of its outstanding Wildlife & Parks Program and invites you to enjoy and hunt our Reservation. Each year we issue a limited number of permits based upon the scientific findings of our biological staff. Although you may not be familiar with our Reservation, we believe that you will want to return, as many other hunters have in the past years to pursue our trophy white-tailed deer, turkey and pheasants. Good luck and have a safe, enjoyable hunt on our Reservation.
