Lee, Paul, and I covered a LOT of miles in just a couple days this weekend. We drove out to Nebraska to look for permission to hunt for the fall. Despite many failed attempts, we were very fortunate to meet a great landowner that has granted us permission for this fall on some exciting ground! EHD effects are still being felt, but the bucks are coming back. More to come from the open country of Nebraska. Here are some photos I took from the weekend.
Cool view of the river bottom we scouted Sunday
Another section of the area we scouted
Some of the woods that was a bit more open along the river bottom we scouted
neat cabin on the property we scouted
A solid 4 year old buck I found dead
Here's a nice scrape I found. There was a shed from a yearling buck embedded in the scrape!
I found this one right away on our walk and Paul later found the match!
One of many nice rubs found
He died too young
A neat pond on the property
Box turtle we found during our walk
Lots of Merriam turkeys out there!
Another cool rub
Here's some of what we found in half a day's walking
