    Extinction Of Pheasant Hunting In Parts Of Nebraska

    I grew up in NP. Used to hunt that area a lot. My brother still lives there, he used to hunt 2-3 times a week and would typically kill over 50 roosters a year. He only went out once this year and didn’t see one pheasant. He does a lot of scouting and rarely see a bird. He’s hoping they will...

    Extinction Of Pheasant Hunting In Parts Of Nebraska

    I used to hunt Nebraska, but gave up the last couple of years cause there are no birds. Grew up in Nebraska and have been hunting there my entire life. It amazes to me the difference between Nebraska‘s game and fish and South Dakota‘s . There seems to be no effort towards conservation...

    Winter’s coming!

    Haven’t made it to SD yet this year, planning on heading up 26th or 27th with my Grandson over his Christmas break. Hope the roads allow us to get there, looking forward to hunting in snow.

    Nebraska not worth the trip

    I’ve been hunting Southwest NE for 35 years. Last 3 years have been the worst. Poor management by Game and fish and then the drought wiped them all out. The Nebraska Game and Fish need to go to school in South Dakota, learn how to manage habitat. Never thought I would say this cause NE is my...
