I am out in far west nebraska where the public land doesn't get hit hard in archery season. There are not alot of public lands in Nebraska but there are some. There are some great deer in Nebraska as well. Look at the NGPC website and they have a map server that lists the WMA's and the other public lands by county or an interactive map of the state.

I hunt along the North Plate river around the entrance into lake McConaughy. I have seen many great deer and found some unbelievable sheds but just have not had the chance to arrow one. If you are going to rifle hunt I would not come to Nebraska as the public land gets hammered during rifle season. If so go durng the middle of the week.
