Stamps. Nebraska’s public hunting lands comprise 2 percent of the state’s total land areas.
Types of Public Lands:
State Wildlife Management Areas

GAME VIOLATIONS
The Nebraska Legislature has passed statutes that increased the fines and penalties
for a variety of game and fish violations. The new fines range from $25 to $15,000,
depending on the severity of the violation and the species involved. The liquidated
damages (assessed in addition to court costs) are set by the legislature as replacement
costs for wildlife taken illegally. The damages apply to each animal taken illegally
and apply to wanton waste. For a complete overview of the specific fines and
penalties, visit OutdoorNebraska.org. Call Nebraska Wildlife Crimestoppers toll-
free at (800) 742-7627 to report a game violation.
