    Hunting the Sandhills has been frustrating, and educational. With all the pastures and stock tanks, there is plenty of food and water pretty much everywhere. There are white-tails in the Sandhills...they tend to stay down by lakes/ponds/shelter belts. The Muley's tend to be in the more rugged...

    I live in NE, and have hunted the Sandhills public areas since 2011. It can be done, and you can tag a nice Muley... And yes, you will see a bunch of different license plates from all over the country during rifle season...I have personally seen PA, WV, OH, MI, WI, MN, IA, MO, KS, OK, OR, UT...

    Been hunting Valentine National Wildlife Refuge in Sandhills of Nebraska. This area of Nebraska sits over the Ogallala Aquifer, and there are probably 50+ windmills and stock tanks scattered through out the refuge. Whitetails generally stay in low lands, near the natural lakes and marshes...

    Nebraska Trespass/Lease costs?

    Wise words, thanks. Dad, brother and I hunted turkey on private land for 30+ years. Lost that privilege as the 92 year old farmer wants to let his grandkids hunt. We didn't pay lease fees, just built a relationship, met him for lunch daily, gave him fried chicken and bloody Mary's. Sad...

    Been chasing Muleys on public land here in Nebraska for past six years with no luck. I've got some feelers out there with friends and relatives, looking for private land. Outfitters in NE typically want $2,000+ for unguided hunts, much more for guides and lodging. I'm looking for unguided...
