PARTICIPATE IN THE UPLAND SLAM
Hunters have long known that Nebraska is an upland bird hunter’s paradise - the mixed bag capital of the Great Plains - with diverse upland hunting opportunities, long seasons, great access to public lands, and high hunter satisfaction rates. This year, take advantage of Nebraska’s unique upland hunting opportunities by participating in the Upland Slam.

The concept of the Nebraska Upland Slam is simple: harvest four birds - a sharp-tailed grouse, greater prairie chicken, ring-necked pheasant and northern bobwhite (quail) - in Nebraska and receive an official certificate, Nebraska Upland Slam pin and epic bragging rights. Additionally, all hunters who complete the slam during the 2019-2020 season will be registered to win one of several great prizes generously donated by Pheasants Forever/Quail Forever.
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.
PRIZES
All hunters who submit at least one harvest to the Nebraska Upland Slam will be automatically entered into monthly drawings for ORCA tumblers with the Upland Slam logo, memberships to Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever and more. Each hunter who completes the slam will be entered into our grand prize drawing for a Browning Silver 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun. The grand prize drawing will take place at the Pheasants Forever State Habitat Meeting Feb. 1, 2020.
Once you complete your slam, you will receive an official pin and certificate.

I realize there is some land accessible to the public in the Sandhills. Including the National forests and the refuge that are on the eastern portion of the Sandhills. However, the heart of the Sandhills region is almost all private land with virtually no public access. The school lands in Nebraska are restricted, and there are few if any public cooperators in this area. The general area I’m referring to between Thedford and Alliance from east to west, and between Merriman and Keystone from north to south. It is approximately 120 to 130 miles between each of these towns. Large area with a lot of wildlife, especially upland birds! I believe the uniqueness of this region with its grasslands and wildlife is a national treasure. To bad it’s closed off to us.
