LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says
the state’s squirrel hunting season opens Aug. 1 and runs through Jan. 31. The daily bag limit is seven squirrels, and the possession limit is 28. The commission experts say squirrels dine primarily on the nuts of oaks, hickories and walnuts. They eat other nuts and fruit when preferred foods are not available.
