Big Game Hunting

New in 2010, I will be offering a very limited amount of guided hunting trips in Western Nebraska.  The focus will be mainly on trophy Mule deer, Whitetail Deer and Antelope on private property.  Base hunting packages as well as all inclusive hunts available, transportation to and from the field are provided. 

Mule deer and Antelope are my other passion besides fishing, and I truly love going after these crafty animals.  The personal success that I have had over the last 3 years have been spectacular, in that time I have put 5 animals in the Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young books!  These are animals off the same land you will be hunting on if you decide to come hunt with Great Plains Guide Service.  I will work hard to get you the animal of your dreams, and with over 12 years of outfitting experience I will guarantee you a professional and exciting hunt.

Mule Deer:

We will focus our efforts around the rifle season which typically is in mid November. 
Hunts will take place on private property and will be fair chase only.
Some of the country is very rough and inaccesible with a truck, so many of these hunts will be spot and stalk and will require some hiking.
We will be looking for nothing less than a mature buck, 5x5 muleys should be the standard.  If we see something other than that you want to take, we will make that decision in the field.
You will need a "statewide buck", or "Plains tag.
2 day trip minimum. 

Whitetail Deer:

This hunt will center around the North Platte river bottom, hunts available are very limited and will encompass your choice of archery, rifle or muzzleloader from treestands or box blind.
There is a beautiful 1 acre stand of Biologic Maximum Brassicas, and a 1 acre plot of alfalfa in which to hunt.  Trail-cams show there are dozens of deer per day hitting these plots including some very nice Whitetail bucks.
Upper Platte or Statewide buck licenses are needed to harvest an animal on this property.
Only mature bucks will be targeted on this hunt as this property is under a management plan for increasing the number of trophy Whitetail bucks, also if you have a bonus doe tag you are encouraged to fill that as well.
2-day trip minimum.
Call for additional details.

In addition to the guided hunt, I can film your hunt from start to finish.  I will then professionaly edit the raw footage into a exciting dvd complete with music and narration of your choice to share with friends and family for years to come.  This is a awesome way to remember your hunt.
