Nebraska elk

[HuskerPAC]

Was fortunate to draw a Nebraska bull elk tag for this fall! I’m in unit 7 and will be hunting north of Ainsworth and Bassett. Will try with my bow but can rifle hunt starting September 21-October 31 if it comes to that. Archery starts September 1.

Not a great year to draw as I already have multiple things going in those months but I should be able to get out enough. My wife understands this is the only bull tag I can ever get in the state so if I have to peel out and hunt without any warning so be it.

Anyone else have experience in Nebraska elk hunting?

Wow! Congrats! What’s the draw percentage on that?

I’d have to look it up. Not good. I’ve put in for over 10 years. If I shoot a bull I can’t ever draw again. If I don’t fill the tag I can start over in the lottery.

Congrats man, I’ve been applying for 6 years and nothing yet.

My cousin was a guide for the Turner ranches back in the day but I think he has his own guide service now. This was his Nebraska elk two years ago. I’ll find out if he’s still a guide.

I’ll bet that was in a different unit that I’m hunting. I’d guess out west by Crawford but could be wrong!

Or would that be Ted Turner ranches? In which case could be the same unit.

Why'd he shoot a baby?

My parents have Elk in their yard North of Ainsworth. Neighbor harvested a monster last year, and theybrought some Elk brats to a bbq last month.

Have to tell you, a grilled Elk Brat with some mustard is one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten.

I’m not going to give away the location. Sorry

It’s not.

No worries. I’ve got permission on multiple pieces already. Not looking to encroach on anyone’s spots.

You can draw bull tags multiple times, but you can only harvest one in a lifetime.
