Nebraska Mule Deer / Whitetail - Hunt #37-MDWD

There aren’t many places where you can buy over-the-counter deer tags and hunt  whitetails and mule deer on the same hunt. This hunt is for one muley and one whitetail.

The ratio of muleys to whitetails is around 50/50. Hunts are conducted on various ranches including Ranch A which is a trophy ranch. Mule deer on this ranch are typically 165 and up. Bucks 190+ have been taken from this ranch. Property B is actually several parcels where mule deer tend to run 140-165. Whitetails are similar in size on both Property A and B and are normally 120-150 with some up to 170.

Located in western Nebraska, these hunts are held on over 40,000 acres that are either owned or leased. This area has wide open prairie, agriculture fields, cottonwood stands and pines. Bowhunts, rifle and muzzleloader hunts are held.

The hunter to guide ratio is 3 or 4 hunters per guide. During the course of the hunt, a hunter will normally spend some days on stand and others doing spot and stalk with a guide. Hunters may elect to do the entire hunt from stands. Stands consist of ladder stands, ground blinds or on the ground from high vantage points.

Includes meals, lodging, guide, field care and skinning of animals. License cost is $209 plus a $20 habitat stamp. Hunter Education Certification is required for everyone age 12 through 29.
