Western Nebraska Sandhills Whitetail Deer Hunts
All of our whitetail deer hunts take place on our own private land which consists of 27,000 acres in Western Nebraska. This guarantees you will be the only whitetail hunter for miles upon miles in any direction and we have the equipment to cover all of this land. Between years of true whitetail deer management accompanied by land development through the process of ranching and agricultural maintenance, our deer are some of the biggest in the entire Midwest. With our land ranging from vast hills to thick wooded meadows and creek bottoms we can provide every type of whitetail deer habitat necessary. To make it even better you won't drive more than a quarter mile without seeing water whether it be creek, one of our numerous ponds, or a well that was created to provide water for cattle.
