Governor Proclaims Sept. 28 as National Hunting and Fishing Day in Nebraska

Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday proclaimed Saturday, Sept. 28, as National Hunting and Fishing Day in Nebraska. Each year, more than 450,000 hunters and anglers participate in outdoor recreation opportunities. Their dollars contribute to the $2.6 billion spent on outdoor activities in Nebraska each year, and, Pillen said, the outdoor economy comprises about 1.8% of Nebraska’s gross domestic product.
