Senator Pushes Late Duck and Goose Seasons
Senator George Fleming told The Telegraph he supports a later duck and goose season for Nebraska and plans to push the idea in Lincoln. He met with the State Game Commission to press western hunters’ objections to an early season and floated division of the state into two hunting districts, though federal rules and practical doubt limit such split. Fleming also cited progress on LB I172 to maintain Sidney’s Oil and Gas Commission presence and the temporary delay of LB174 taxing non producing leases, while planning further talks with U S Senator Roman Hruska.
