Nebraska is less than 3% public, but some of the public ground has some great hunting.

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission publishes a detailed data in their annual regulations book. You’ll find a breakdown of each region, total harvest, how many bucks per square mile were killed, and the age class of the bucks taken. All of that is solid info that can help drill down on areas to try.

The Nebraska Game & Parks Commission works with Pheasants Forever, Nebraska Environmental Trust, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Districts, and others to increase public access. It also established the Open Fields and Waters Program (OFW) to open an additional 346,000 acres of private land to hunting. The Passing Along the Heritage Program (PATH) offers limited opportunities as well. And of course, wildlife management areas, some state parks and state recreation areas, Waterfowl Production Areas, Platte River Recreation Access, and other smaller programs increase access too. To view these, Nebraska’s Public Access Atlas is a valuable tool for hunters.

Eastern Nebraska is the most consistent region for trophy production, but don't sleep on the Southwestern region of the state. Cass, Cedar, Dodge, Douglas, Gage, Jefferson, Johnson, Lancaster, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee, Richardson, Sarpy, Saunders, and Washington counties are among the best producers. A few western and central counties hold their own, too, including Holt, Furnas, Keya Paha, and Lincoln. Counties aside, river corridors generally have the best genetics, habitat, nutrition, deer densities, and biggest bucks.

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
