Shop Nebraskaland

For the first time, you can buy prints or keepsakes of Nebraskaland Magazineโ€™s stunning wildlife and wild places โ€” and get it shipped directly to your door. Our curated selection offers timeless images that capture the spirit of Nebraskaโ€™s beauty, ensuring youโ€™ll find something that speaks to the outdoors lover in your life. You can browse our easy-to-navigate collection by category or theme and enjoy a secure and simple ordering process.

Annual state park permits

Give the gift of experiences โ€” one yearโ€™s worth of access to over 70 scenic state parks from one end of the state to the other. With opportunities for hiking, fishing, camping, wildlife watching or just enjoying the beautiful outdoors, Nebraskaโ€™s state parks have something for everyone.

Annual hunting or fishing permits

If you know someone who loves to fish or hunt, make your gift-giving easy and get them a permit allowing them to enjoy those activities all year long. This also could be a good gift for someone who would appreciate the nudge to try a new hobby or get back into an old one.

Hard card permits

This option offers an alternative to carrying a paper permit with you in the field. When you buy a permit, you can choose to add on a wallet-sized hard card โ€” complete with beautiful artwork of a rainbow trout, bighorn sheep or Chimney Rock โ€” onto your purchase for just $8. It displays your current permits and hunter ID and will stand up to water and repeated trips in and out of pockets and tackle boxes.

Lifetime permits and stamps

Treat someone special to the gift that lasts a lifetime โ€” a Nebraska lifetime permit. It is the ultimate gift for any hunter or angler and an investment in the future.

Nebraskaland Holiday Special

Give the gift of a one-year Nebraskaland subscription paired with the 2025 Nebraskaland Calendar for just $26. Nebraskaland is a great fit for outdoor enthusiasts, filled with scenic images and engaging stories on outdoor recreation, wildlife, parks and people.

2025 Nebraskaland Calendar

You can enjoy gorgeous Nebraska scenes all year long with the 2025 Nebraskaland Calendar. Each month features a spectacular Nebraska image taken by a Nebraskaland photographer, along with plenty of room to pencil in notes. Itโ€™s great for both the home and the office.

Game and Parks โ€˜Bucksโ€™
