Lease Maximum Hunters
This Lease Property has a property maximum hunters limitation is two hunters in blind on 240 acres and one hunter on the 80 acres in blind. We could double that number but we hunt lightly and provide a low price for the lease so that you can take big whitetail deer not just deer. To do so there are a number of QDM type rules we follow to provide you a more quality successful hunt. We are not worried about you being successful we are well over 90% we are trying to keep the quality of what you take home something that you can brag about when you take your buck home. The lease price per member is $ 2500 but due to the season we have reduced it down to only $1495 per member of the 3 members.
PROPERTY DISCRIPTION DETAILS
The property consists of 240 acres of pasture with trees in the draws with an adjacent 80 acres on the back side. There are some great locations to sit in ambush for traveling bucks rutty or just feeding either in ground blinds or tree stands. There is a huge traveling corridor on the property for deer transition from cover to feed across the property that even continue on to the neighboring property. We call this corridor the interstate and a place to be waiting on opening day.
More on this pasture it is not flat and bare it is just called a pasture because it is to rugged to farm. Deer love that because it also slows access. This pasture has a huge draw running throughout the property, which has finger trails off of it to different wooded pockets on the property. The deer tend to travel different directions on these trails and corridors depending on the time of day and time of the year enroute to feed and does or just plain looking for does.
From this location you are afforded a great 360-degree view from the blind so you will be very active being certain that a buck doesn’t slip up behind you. Of course, the wind is important and use it to decide exactly where you will sit. We can help you with that the first year. There are no buildings on the lease so they are having not had much human traffic in the past which helps big bucks in the cover stay her or come her when pressure on the adjacent properties that are hunted harder are pushed on to your lease. There are also some deep heavy timber and brush covered pockets with one pond and 4 dams on property. The deer travel between properties every day in their movement, a good place for a blind as well. The adjacent 80 acres has a small dam and deep pockets of heavy cover, which would also support a blind on the downwind side of this heavily traveled trail. This property has a recommendation two hunters on the 240-acre part and one on the 80 acres area. This would provide good coverage but deer will still get through because there are so many trails and so many deer you won’t see them all. Many times, if pressured to hard the bigger bucks will lay in the timber and not move until last light and feed at night if they are pressures to hard. With only 3 hunters and being quiet this should not be a problem.
Assistance
So many hunters say on Monday, “If I knew Friday what I know now on Monday I would have filled my tag on Saturday morning instead of Sunday,” Because of this we are here to help you know Friday what you need to know Saturday morning. Remember Saturday morning you are the only ones on the property, it is your lease.
Fence Hunting
If you are on an exterior fence line of the lease provide 50 yards from the fence as a buffer and a place to ambush your buck. Many times, these big bucks don’t go down at the shot and when the jump a fence they always take a few long strides before they slow to a walk or stop providing a good shot. In addition, if a buck is shot he must be in good enough condition to turn around and run toward the fence and jump it. The law is simple of this, you cannot pursue you wounded but on private property without permission. Illegal activities can be justification for you to be ejected from the property and their lease cancelled without any refund.
Call us and we will contact the correct landowner and he along with us and you will search for your buck. We are as easy as a cell phone call away and live in the area and stay by the leases most of the time during the season. If we are not close we will contact the neighbor and have you meet if at the fence where the deer left the lease, look for blood and hair and track your deer until we get there.
We are specific about this and our neighbors are the same so that it is fair and no one shoots over the fence. In the same token if you see someone shooting over the fence into your lease get as much information and call me we will get the game warden involved.
Tree stands & Safety
Since the property has had such minimal hunting pressure in the past you won’t find much for tree stands on the property. If you use any there you use them at your own risk and are free to maintain them. If you want to put your own up please maintain them also. We only have 1 tree stand rule. That is if you are in a stand above the ground you MUST wear a safety harness of some type, we don’t stalk them so it is your lease you must have them with you. We strive for safety and stats show that 50% of tree stand hunters will fall out a of a tree during their hunting career. We have been very safety conscious and never had an accident. We will assist you in selecting a location for your stand/blind to get the best deer traffic. We also must have stands out of the way of any farming operations. Before placing a stand advise us where you plan to put it so that we can confirm it is out of the farming operations, which is required by our lease with the land owner. If put in and not approved, and is possibly a farming issue the stand/blind will be re-located.That being said their must be some properties somewhen that has had 100% accidents because we have never had one and work to keep it that way. In addition, be aware to the states Blaze Orange requirements you will see it in your state regulations along with other regulations for hunting in this great Pro-Hunting State.
Access
We will show you the best location to access your lease. We will also note your vehicle and license plate so that if someone is there that should not be there we have what we need to work with the game warden to handle any trespasser. We take trespassing seriously, that is one reason our deer quality IS SO HIGH. We know like anywhere there are road hunter and we are constantly writing down phone numbers to weed them out. Note if you see someone shooting at a deer from the road, get what you can to be able to identify them then we will handle it with the game warden. We seldom have incidents and we put No hunting signs around your property and you are free to add some more if you wish.
Driving on the property
It is ok to drive on the property established roads. Driving off the roads will be noticed by the deer and their travel patterns may change due to it. Also, in muddy conditions erosion damage can be a issue in this fertile soil.
ATV’s on the property
ATVs are great to get around and haul out deer. They are good for putting in permission required food plots. The down side becomes that deer are not accustom to the noise of an ATV and will disappear quickly before you even see them. It is your risk, and your deer, your choice and I caution you about the erosion cause by ATV travel. Small bucks will tolerate the traffic for a while, large bucks on the other hand will not tolerate much ATV traffic, before leaving the area. The bottom line is this. We want you to be successful in not just taking deer but taking big deer. We recommend that you only use ATV or UTV for retrieval of deer, emergency use or if they physically can't walk in to place to hunt. Big deer know a ATV is a foreign sound and will stage in heavy cover and not come out until after dark. If you have been shooting deer but not big deer this might explain why. We have big deer but as everyone says they didn’t get big by being stupid.
Deer Limit per hunter registered on your lease
At the current pricing structure each person is allow to take 1 deer, a buck or a doe. We have found that the problem with shooting extra does or anything like that we are all trying to grow the bucks as big as possible, that is one of the main benefits of a lease. The down side is as you get bigger deer they are more sensitive about people in their domain during the hunting season and you may just push them into the neighbors awaiting rifle when you were just shooting a doe. Because we strive for building a continued number of quality deer we have taken the 1 Buck deer any weapons, and season per person.
Keep in mind in Nebraska you can buy an archery license and hunt the big one during archery season and as long as you don’t shoot a buck, you can buy a rifle license and shoot your buck then. If perhaps you did not see the buck you wanted during the gun season then archery season is open again right after the gun season ends. All works as long as you only shoot one deer per person per year. Additional deer buck or doe can be taken but it is $ 750 in advance to do so.
If you would like a son or daughter to shoot your lease buck you can do so but must be with them when they are hunting on the lease. You are responsible to see that they follow all of the rules of this lease. Not following the rules could get you ejected from the property your lease cancelled.
