Do you wish you could get away and make that great escape to the wide open outdoors for a spring turkey hunt for the granddaddy of all turkeys, the Merriams? In the Elkhorn valley, the Niobrara and the Missouri River meet up
with the Great Sand Hills. This is where those dreams can come true.
This outfitting and guiding operations is the culmination of a dream of a hunting, fishing and outdoors enthusiast that eventually lead to this successful hunting / outfitting agency.
With the outfitter being a lifetime resident of Nebraska, roaming the fields and streams of Nebraska for the last 50
years he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and outdoor experiences. He would now like to extend an invitation
for you to come join him on a Nebraska adventure where the hunting is real with no game fences, across some of the most diverse terrain in the country, so wild you'll expect to see herds of Bison to come thundering over the hill.
Come lose yourself in a place that time forgot.

a camp which includes Nebraska Beef steaks (our specialty) served one of the evenings, transportation to and from the lodge
for each days hunting to their exclusive private grounds. 2 X 1 guide services,1 X 1 for an additional fee, with blinds and decoys furnished. They will assist you in calling your turkey or you may do all your
own calling, it will be your decision.
Areas hunted are in North Central Nebraska.
Area 1: Niobrara River Valley (East)
Most of this area is in the Ainsworth/Meadville areas. This area of the state is rolling grass covered sandhills that give
way to steep, tree lined canyons of pines and hardwoods. There is some agricultural ground mixed in but mainly open country. This area holds an excellent hybird Merriam along with an excellent native Merriam turkey population, a guy
might even find a lost Eastern here once in awhile. In this area they also have access to 2 different private parcels of
land for a total of 2,900 acres, the largest tract at 1,600 acres.
Area 2: Niobrara River Valley (West)
This area of ground totals 2600 arces of private ground. The area is steep remote tree lined canyons of pines mainly.
True native Merriam turkeys make up the majority of the population here along with some hybred Merriams thrown in.
This area does require access by walking only during dry conditions due to fire hazard. The lodging is limited for this
area. Weather permitting you may be in a remote drop camp situation.
Area 3: Eastern Species only with a shot at a hybred Merriam possible.
1800 arces of private ground bordering the Missouri River. Rolling hills with hardwoods and scattered pine. This area
holds a good population of the Eastern species with some hybred Merriams thrown in. This area is great for that first
time turkey hunter or youth hunter since it offers easy access.
I do a very limited deer hunting. I offer archery and muzzleloader hunts only. For either whitetail or mule deer. Use the email below for more info on deer hunts available.
just don't know if the slingshot will work ;D
