Fall migrations hinge on water levels in Nebraska
The 1972 Turie fall duck season in Nebraska is forecast to be strong if ponds and marshes hold water. Dry summer left many wetlands low, threatening early arrivals. areas with unaffected habitats already draw ducks while others await larger lakes and rivers for settling. The season runs October 1 to December 20 with a point system, bag limits, and a new Duck Identification Guide for hunters.

Feasibility of raising pheasant chicks studied in state
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission researchers tested a penning method using temporarily flightless game farm hens in alfalfa plots with a five foot fence. Roosters mated with hens, some nests succeeded, yielding 10–15 percent nesting success and about 21 chicks per nesting space, but overall results were not strong enough for statewide use. The study suggests potential for landowners and clubs in targeted areas as a possibly better nesting method than traditional game farm breeding.
