Guided Bison Hunt in the Nebraska Sandhills
Description
A guided bison hunt on our family's ranch near Sargent, Nebraska. You hunt from a UTV or pickup with a guide, stay at our 9-room lodge, and take home about 300 pounds of grass-fed bison. We host one hunting party at a time. $5,200 for the hunt, or $6,200 all-in with butchering, vacuum packing and freezing.

What to Expect
Two days of hunting and three nights at the lodge, with meals. Your guide takes you to the herd in a UTV or pickup, depending on where the bison are, and sets you up for a close, safe shot. No Nebraska hunting license or draw is needed. Bring a .30 caliber or larger, zeroed at 50 yards. We dress, skin, quarter and hang your animal, and with the butchering package we cut, vacuum pack and freeze it so it's ready to haul home. Bring three large coolers. Non-hunting family members are welcome. Hunts run year-round: November through January is best for hides, August for meat.
Gear & Equipment
Bring three large coolers to haul your meat home. Dress in layers for Sandhills weather, with blaze orange if you like. We provide the UTV or pickup, a shooting rest, and the walk-in cooler for hanging.
Weapon Details
Rifle, .30 caliber or larger, zeroed at 50 yards.
