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.

Ellis Scores On A Big 8 With Scott Croner And The Nebraska Hunting Company


After going Merriam's turkey hunting with Scott Croner in May and tagging out I knew I had to go on a deer hunt with him when the opportunity came up. I booked my deer hunt for muzzleloader season the second week in December. After talking to Scott several times on the phone before I arrived I was very excited about what he was telling me he had been seeing. I arrived in Nebraska City mid afternoon and was greeted by Scott. He took me to a spot on the edge of a soybean field and said he had been seeing a 140-150 class buck in the area along with some 130 class bucks. Two hours later I caught a glimpse of a big buck walking a ridge across from me. I grunted and he turned and walked right towards me. I guess buck fever set in because I made a bad shot and hit him in the gut. Scott and I blood trailed him for a little while that evening but decided to back out when we ran out of blood and lost light. The next morning I was happy to see Scott had two other people with him to help us find the deer. It took us about an hour and we found him the biggest buck I've ever taken a 144" 8-pointer. I've hunted with 6 different outfitters in my life and Scott Croner is the best I have hunted with. I already have a deer hunt booked for next deer season and plan on booking many more.
