Furbearers
Game species in Nebraska include upland game, waterfowl, turkey, big game, and furbearers.
Two furbearers may be trapped but not hunted. They are:
- Beaver

These furbearers may be trapped or hunted:
- Badger
- Bobcat*
- Gray Fox
- Long-Tailed Weasel
- Mink
- Raccoon*

*Nebraska also has running seasons for these animals. During a running season, the furbearer may be chased with dogs but may not be killed. This lets hunters and their dogs practice for hunting season.
