Hunt ID: NE-6004
About the Outfitter:
Discounted any weapon 7000 acres of river bottom with corn and alfalfa whitetail hunt in the famous record book location on the Niobrara River in northern Nebraska!
The landowner will help you select your place to hunt and be successful. Being farmers the see deer every day just in the daily work of running the farm and working cattle. He will offer you some suggestions as to where he has been seeing the biggest bucks lately and set you in a crossing or feeding area for success.
There are only 8 hunters total- 4 per hunt allowed on this hunt! That is almost no pressure. All stands are erected on crossings, pinch points, food areas, and travel corridors and so on. You can also hunt the whitetail the western way without a formal blind just hide low in the ground somewhere that your scent won’t give you away. You will be directed to a stand in the area you are hunting that history has proven it produces. These hunts hit PEAK rut, and bucks are moving. We work hard though not to upset the normal patterns.
The turkeys are multiplying like rabbits. We have a lot of old toms mixed with Jake’s and a successful spring hatch we have been having as the norm now days. The wet springs have been great to supply bugs for the hatching chicks and it shows. We even have the ability for you to take 2 Toms while you are here if you select that choice.
