| Niobrara Wilderness Outfitters offers you a chance to shoot a Buffalo.
This is not shooting fish in a barrel. Our buffalo are
free range on a 12,000 acre pasture. Let us take care of
everything for you. This is a 3 day hunt with lodging and
meals included. Heck, we will even haul your buffalo from
the site to our local locker. From there you decide what
you want to do with the entire animal. We prefer that you
use a muzzle loader or a rifle for this hunt. Prices may
vary on each individual hunt, so please give us a call
for a price.
Hunting
will be done in a variety methods ranging from sitting,
spotting, stalking, working ridges and valleys depending
on the game we are hunting, the weather, feeding habits,
feed availability location and hunter participation. We
have had young and old, first time and veteran hunters,
varying in skills and age, as well as disabled hunters.
Transportation
while hunting will be mostly on foot as our lodge and
camp
are located in prime hunting areas. Vehicles will be used
only to transport from one area to another. No road hunting
permitted! It may be possible to use horses depending on
guide and experience as well as game movements. If you
wish
to bring your own horses, we will be willing to make arrangements.
After
game has been tagged, we will pack it out with whatever
methods are needed. We may use horses, mules, foot power,
ATV or 4-wheel drive pickup all depending on the conditions
and location of the kill. We will assist you in animal care.
Although, after the game has been retrieved to the camp
or lodge the meat care, quality and cost are entirely up
to you.
DEER
HUNTING:
We
have taken a number of very nice deer from our place. The
big ones are not always easy to come by and they have learned
to be very elusive. This makes for a great and challenging
hunt. Both whitetail deer and mule tail deer can be hunted
in equal ratios. In most cases you can find whitetail and
mule deer in the same areas.
TURKEY
HUNTING:
We normally run 75- 100% success spring and fall. We usually
take on 12- 15 hunters for both the spring and fall seasons
with no more than six hunters in camp at one time. On our
ranch, we have 175- 200 birds that winter with our cattle.
These are wild birds that spread out over our entire range
in spring and then congregate in the fall. The average bird
has a 6- 10 inch beard and weighs around 18 pounds. Birds
have been taken that weigh 26 pounds and have 11 inch beards.
As
guides we can only put you where we feel and/or have seen
the animals move. They may not go where they went the day
or week before. Hunter skills also come into play as there
are things we cannot control. We will do our best to help
you have a memorable, and most of all successful trip.
