LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The last day to apply for a Nebraska archery paddlefish permit for the July 11-Aug. 9 season is Tuesday.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says archery paddlefish permits are issued through a preference system. An applicant will receive a point if he or she is unsuccessful in being awarded a permit. Anyone who doesn’t apply at least once during five consecutive years will lose all points.

Permits remaining following the first drawing will be sold beginning at 1 p.m. Central on June 1. Applicants must be at least 12 by the second Saturday in July. A person may have no more than two archery paddlefish permits per year.

Permits cost $21 for residents and $41 for nonresidents, including issuing fees.
