Sportsmen can enjoy some of the finest deer hunting in the Sand Hills at the Double R.
The ranch is located in a vast and sparsely populated part of the Sand Hills, teeming with wildlife, and a big variety of species. The Whitetail Deer and Mule Deer abound, and more and more Prong-horn Antelope are being seen. Many trophy deer are taken each deer hunting season according to Kit Hams, the Program Manager of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission’s, Big Game Program. He says that, “The Sand Hills Management Unit has the highest percentage of mature, trophy whitetail deer —and it should, it has been managed as a TROPHY UNIT since 1991.”
Deer hunters will find that the rugged, high, sandy hills, and the heavily-grassed, marsh land on this Nebraska ranch, add to the challenge of the hunt. Because there is a very high population of deer, the deer hunters are welcomed! The antelope hunts are just returning to this area, so Cherry County may have limited Buck Only antelope hunt permits a year.
UPLAND GAME BIRDS: Sharp-tail Grouse, Prairie Chicken, and Mourning Dove are plentiful; the Ring-neck Pheasant newly established and doing very well. The grouse and prairie chicken love the grassy hills and the many shelter belt areas. The hunters enjoy the crisp walks through the hills as they pursue these birds. The ring-neck pheasant is found in the shelter belts, and on the meadows, and seems to thrive on a variety of seeds and the bounty of nature’s variety of bugs. The Mourning Doves linger around the stock tanks. The more patient hunter will have many opportunities to shoot during the day and early evening. It is a pleasant way to spend time while observing the natural order of the wild birds.
There are several spring-fed lakes on the ranch and they are home to the Great Northern Goose, and to numerous duck of many varieties. The waterfowl are plentiful and they generally will stay until the lakes freeze over and then, head south for warmer climate.
