Nebraska Deer Hunting

Sportsmen can enjoy some of the finest deer hunting in the Sand hills at the Double R Guest Ranch. The ranch is located in a vast and sparsely populated part of the Sand hills, teeming with wildlife, and a big variety of species. The Whitetail Deer and Mule Deer abound, and more and more Prong-horn Antelope are being seen. Many trophy deer are taken each deer hunting season according to Kit Hams, the Program Manager of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s Big Game Program. He says that,
“The Sand hills Management Unit has the highest percentage of mature, trophy whitetail deer – and it should, it has been managed as a TROPHY UNIT since 1991.”

Deer hunting on the ranch is available to our
on-site guests only.

Deer hunters will find that the rugged, high, sandy hills and the heavily-grassed marsh land on this Nebraska ranch add to the challenge of the hunt. Because there is a very high population of deer, the deer hunters are welcomed! The antelope hunts are just returning to this area, so Cherry County may have limited Buck Only antelope hunt permits a year.

All Hunt Fees include the right to hunt in-season waterfowl, upland birds, and small game. Hunters may go fishing on site at the private lake with the required licenses for a 4-day Hunt with no extra charge.

Exclusive hunting rights will be given if a total of 8 hunters are guaranteed with required deposits paid as agreed. Two cabins will be furnished for these 8 hunters (Big Cabin and Lakeside Cabin).

Deer season is set by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission so Opening Day varies from year to year.
