Nebraska Whitetail Bowhunt - (11/3 - 11/7)
 

I just wanted to let my friends here atHuntingnet know that3 friends & I have booked a bow hunt in Nebraska this fall (November 3rd - 7th). This outfitter came highly recommended by a friend of mine from who has hunted with him twice & is going back again this season. I also followed up on 4 of the references listed on their website- all 4 folks told me that this guy runs a first class service with great opportunities at trophy bucks without placing undue pressure on the resources. I will not name this outfitter on this forumas I do not, in any way want to give anyone the impression that I am advertising forhim. What I am trying to do, is invite you to participate in a very affordable huntfora trophy whitetail asa member of our party.

We will be hunting a tract of land that the Outfitter has been trying to acquire for the last 3 years and has finally landed this year. This outfitter knows the property very well as he is friends with the landowner's family. There will be a limit of only 4 bow hunters in our camp the week we are there. We are going the second week of only 3 weeks that this outfitter plans to hunt this tract of land. There will only be 4 bow hunterson this propertybefore us (the last week of October).

The outfitter told us that if we fill the last spot at our camp the week we're there, he'll knock the price down to $2000 from $2200. This includes everything- food, lodging, guiding services, stands all hung, pre-season food plot mgmt, deer patterning, shooting lanes cut,transportation to/from stands, post shot deer tracking, field dressing, skinning, prep for taxidermist....etc.... The cost of out-of-state tags is less than $200. There will be over 25 stands on 2500 acres on this private tract of landin north centralNebraska (about 17 miles south of the SD border).

The nearest major airport is Omaha, about 3 hours away.We are flying in on Sunday, 11/2 and flying out on Saturday, 11/8. It is a 5-day hunt. If any of you would like to join us, you are most welcome as it would be great to meet some of you in person. It's going to be a blast spending 5 days hunting midwestern whitetail bruisers with a bow. Just to give you an idea of the quality of the bucks running around this area- the minimum is 130"- oh yeah, they took a 197" buck off this new property last year.

The area that we will be hunting has never before been commercially hunted. It has been privately owned and hunted very little over the last 10 years. The 197 taken off the property last year washarvested bya relative of the landowner. Our Outfitter has exclusive hunting rights to this property during bow season this year.We will be staying in a modern cabin with two bedrooms (2 full size beds in each room), a full kitchen, mud/equipment room & den/TV room. The father-in-law of our Outfitter, a native Nebraskan, will be our main guide/cook on this new parcel of land.

Let me know if you are interested injoining us forthis hunt- PM me, email me or give me a call.

Dude,
Leave it to a Fireman from NJ to stir up trouble with a smart-aleck comment. I was a member here for about 4 years (User name, "Huntin' Hard) before I shipped out to Iraq for 2 years. I seemed to have lost my passord/login capabilities under my old username, so today when I finally decided to post- I needed to register with a new username.

But I do appreciate the friendly welcome home- especially from a fellow service member...........

welcome back graydawg

Sounds like a good hunt, if nothing else report back come November on how it went for ya. I couldnt swing this in any way shape or form this year. Im already booked for a SD archery trip, which will cost me enough as is.

RE: Nebraska Whitetail Bowhunt - (11/3 - 11/7)
 

Welcome back, and good luck on the hunt

RE: Nebraska Whitetail Bowhunt - (11/3 - 11/7)
 

TEmbry,
What part of SD will you be hunting & when? Italked to two outfitters in SD (along with a host of outfitters from 5 other states) when researching & making plans for this trip. I actually won't be too far from SD (only about 17 miles) as we will be in north central NE in the Niobrara River Valley.

Good luck on your hunt- stick a bruiser!! ;)

Welcome back HH ........

RE: Nebraska Whitetail Bowhunt - (11/3 - 11/7)
 

Thanks for serving GrayDawg. DropTine must be putting out other fires before he addresses this one. Good luck on your hunt.

It's really no big deal........ I was just a little disheartened that another bowhunter would make such a comment without even givingme (who just posted an open invitation) the benefit of the doubt.

Like I said before- no big deal...... small potatoes

Now who wants to arrow a deer with a rack like this? This rack came from a buck taken last year off the same property we'll be hunting........

Hm? Is it that small that I can't see it???[8D]

RE: Nebraska Whitetail Bowhunt - (11/3 - 11/7)
 

Steve,
Are you serious? You can't see the picture of the rack on the table?
I'm looking at it right now? Why would I be able to see it but not you?
Let me know- I'll repost if I need to.

Graydawg,
First off, let me say thank you for your service to this country. My buddies and I were in the Niobrara river valley turkey hunting this last spring. We stayed in the little motel in Niobrara and hunted on the Indian reservation. It is without a doubt some of the most beautiful country up there. We are going back in October. We saw hundreds of deer and turkeys in the three days we were there. If you are going to be hunting the reservation send me a pm and I will let you know about some spots that we saw alot of deer.

RE: Nebraska Whitetail Bowhunt - (11/3 - 11/7)
 

Mark,
Thanks for the reassurring assessment of the Niobrara River Valley. You're confirming everything my freinds and I are expecting when we arrive in November. We aren't hunting the reservation, rather ~2500 private acres that hold monster bucks. Abutting this property to the west, is a wildlife refuge that is legally unhuntable. It holds monster deer that venture onto the property we're hunting as it has better eats (loads of alfalfa). These travel routes have multiple bow sets already in place and our outfitter only takes 4 bowhunters a week. We will be there the second week he is outfitting this property (Nov. 3rd-7th).

Here is a shot of the property from google earth. The Niobrara River is at the bottom of the photo. The refuge is just off the photo on the righthand side. The agricultural fields are at an elevation of ~2100 feet. The Niobrara is at an elevation of ~1850 feet. The wooded drainages in between the two hold a lot of deer and act as central travel routes to the fields.



So- one last time, anyone want in on the last spot available at this acreage for the duration of the bow season? The remaining weeks are all booked up.

Let me know,

Rob

NE is a great place to hunt. Very affordable Tags and available OTC.

I've been hunting Mule Deer in the western part of the state for a couple of years and hope to get out to do the same this coming hunting season.

Biggest expense for me is the Gas to make the trips[:@]

That is a nice deer!! I also want to say thank you for serving our country. Don't worry about Drop Tine. I think he likes to make jokes before he thinks about it!

RE: Nebraska Whitetail Bowhunt - (11/3 - 11/7)
