Deer Hunting in Nebraska

with Nebraska Hunting Company

At the turn of the century, there were only about 50 deer in the entire state of Nebraska. Market hunting and an expanding population had taken their toll on the once plentiful whitetail deer and mule deer. Through the hard work and perseverance of the Nebraska Game department, today, the Nebraska deer herd stands at 300,000 to 350,000. The opportunity to take an excellent whitetail deer in Nebraska has never been better!


Nebraska Hunting Company and Outfitters, with its private concessions, has 120,000 private acres of premier hunting habitat. We also have access to 160,000 acres of public national forest and national grassland that are located less than 30 minutes from our headquarters in Nebraska City, Nebraska.

With such diverse and varied areas in our concessions to hunt in, you will find rough canyons, rolling plains, and pastures. There are forests, upland prairies, and creek and river bottoms filled with pasturage consisting of corn, alfalfa, winter wheat, clover, soybean, and other wildlife food plots. These live water bottoms are the drainages to and from rough canyons and draws that lead to meadows and pastureland that produce optimal habitat for game species. The topography, combined with wildlife friendly food plots, has created a haven for a multitude of deer and various species.

Nebraska is still a “sleeper” state. Because our habitat also contains field crops such as corn, wheat, oats, and milo, Nebraska deer typically grow larger and healthier than in many other areas, such as the southern states. They have a higher quality meat, and taste delicious due to their diet containing American grown grains. This diet aids in increasing the potential for their size and quality of antlers. We get big deer, with big bodies, and big antlers! But they don’t get the hunting pressure they do else where. Remember, when hunting big deer, the less pressure the better.

Last year NHC’s clients took X whitetails scoring between xxx and xxx. All of them where handsome trophies and all our clients were very satisfied with their experience. Our references are available for your inspection, and you will be pleased to know that many of our clients have become repeat customers over the years!

All resident and non-resident hunters regardless of age must possess the proper permit. All permits will need to be purchased before arrival as we cannot offer these on premises. Non-resident permits for all ages are $178.00 and a $13.00 habitat stamp is also required for all hunters regardless of age. Non-resident season choice permits are $55.00. Nonresident November firearm statewide buck permits are $443.50.
