- Abstract: The rapid rise of COVID‐19 and the governmental response to slow the spread of the pandemic occurred prior to, or during, the opening of the spring wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hunting seasons (Mar to May 2020) in the United States. The response of fish and wildlife agencies to the pandemic varied throughout the United States during the spring turkey season. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) suspended the sale of non‐resident, spring turkey hunting permits on 30 March 2020 in a proactive effort to minimize the spread of COVID‐19. In this study, we evaluated the extent that the COVID‐19 pandemic affected the spring turkey permit sales and harvest in Nebraska, USA. We combined information from NGPC's electronic licensing system, responses from 2017–2019 spring turkey hunter surveys (pre‐pandemic), and responses from the 2020 (during the pandemic) spring turkey hunter survey, which included additional questions about the influence of COVID‐19 on respondents' hunting experiences. There was an increase in the number of resident hunters (23%) and resident permits sold (26%) and a decrease in the number of non‐resident hunters (−88%) and non‐resident permits sold (−89%) in 2020 as compared to the 3 years prior. Further, non‐residents, more so than Nebraska residents, claimed that the COVID‐19 pandemic affected their spring turkey hunting in their precautions taken, overall satisfaction, pre‐season planning for the spring turkey season, and plans made prior to the outbreak. Wildlife agencies should prepare for the potential effects that significant disruptions (like that observed with the COVID‐19 pandemic) might have on hunting participation, especially if a significant portion of revenue is derived from non‐resident permit sales, and develop plans and policies so that they can react appropriately.
