 (AP) - The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says spring turkey hunting permits will be available starting next week.

Each permit lets a hunter kill one male or bearded female turkey with bow and arrow in the archery season or with a shotgun in the shotgun season. A person may buy up to three spring turkey permits.

Archery season for youths and adults opens March 25. Shotgun season opens April 5 for youths and April 12 for adults. All seasons close May 31.
