17 For 17 During 2009 Rifle Season!

This is one of my all time favorite outfitters, just for the simple fact that they do everything an outfitter should do for their client.  From the moment you arrive to the comfortable lodge you are greeted with a smile and a firm handshake.  After being shown to your sleeping quarters you are given time to get your weapon of choice sighted in and gear situated.  There will be a brief  orientation where Jim and Scott will assign your guides and find out what species you would prefer to hunt.  With time permitting your guide will give you a truck tour of some of the hunting grounds so you can get a feel for the terrain, on our brief 45 minute tour we saw over 50 deer, including several shooter bucks!

With over 100,000 acres owned and leased you can hunt all week and never see the same spot twice, but even with this much property you get the comfortable feeling that it has all been scouted very well both by guides and trail cameras.

I just returned from the 2009 opening rifle season with a group of my clients where they went 8 for 8! ( I should also mention that I recently spoke with Jim and his second group went 9 for 9 on the second week) I was fortunate enough to capture some of it on film and hope to have it edited and posted for you very soon.  My group was obviously very happy with their results, here are some of their comments below.

If you are looking for an awesome hunt with an outfitter that will do everything with in their power to make your hunt successful then you need to check out Jim and Scott’s outfit.  I will be happy to answer any questions.  You can reach me at 918 407 2586 or email greg@outdoor-connection.com

Greg,

The overall hunt was better than expected.  Scott and Jim go out of their way to accommodate each hunter’s style of hunting.  Weather it be hunting the open terrain hill country for big muleys or the river bottom land for big whitetails.  Also, the food and hospitality was top notch back at camp.

Thanks,

Mike Owen.

Greg,

This was my first time to ever go deer hunting and thanks to Greg I shot my first deer. 10 pointer to say no less. Had an a great time and everyone at Nebraska Trophy Bucks and Birds were awesome! Look forward to going back again.

Greg,
I want to send a personal Thank You to you and the staff at Nebraska Trophy Bucks & Birds. I couldnt have asked for a more fun,enjoyable and successful hunt. The deer, staff,food and accommodations was more than a hunter should expect.
The first day of hunting I saw approximately 35 deer with about half of them being bucks. We will definitely be going back.

Thanks Again,
Anthony Reiss

Jim Kuhn and Scott Fink both  had owned and managed successful outfitting businesses, before joining their talents together to form Nebraska Trophy Bucks ‘n Birds in 2007.. Jim managed operations in Nebraska’s Sandhills in two different locations, while Scott managed his own in the general area where Nebraska Trophy Bucks ‘n Birds now operates.

Both Kuhn and Fink grew up in rural Nebraska where hunting was part of the lifestyle. Fink still lives on the family ranch, which is part of the hunting area available to the business’s customers. The guides and cooks working for Nebraska Trophy Bucks ‘n Birds are almost exclusively local people who know the land well.

Whether it is for trophy mule or whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope, Merriam turkeys, grouse, pheasant or buffalo, when you hunt with Scott and Jim, you’re hunting with local guys who know how to be successful hunters in Nebraska.

Nebraska Trophy Bucks n Birds

Information Packet

About Us

Nebraska Trophy Bucks n Birds specialize in high quality hunts for both big game and birds in Nebraska’s Sandhills.  They offer big game hunting for mule deer and whitetail deer, as well as antelope.  You can choose rifle, archery or muzzleloader hunting for deer and archery for antelope.

Their bird hunting adventures include pheasant, grouse and turkey hunting.  They also guide for coyotes and prairie dogs, if you are into predator or varmint hunting.

Deer

They are fortunate to have a mix of trophy whitetails and trophy mule deer.  They lease some of the best private ranches to provide each hunter with the best opportunity to harvest the deer of your dreams.

The wide Goose Creek Valley is excellent whitetail habitat for growing whitetail bucks.  The valley is made up of open hay meadows, wood lots and shelter belts; this mixture of woods and meadows makes the perfect whitetail habitat.

On each side of the valley is the Nebraska Sandhills, the place trophy mule deer call home.  They glass the open hills in the morning and search the cedar filled canyons for bedding mule deer in the afternoons.  Their evening hunts take place on alfalfa pivots or other food plots; this is a great chance to harvest your big mule deer buck.

Hunts include meals, lodging, guiding and transportation during the hunt.

Antelope

The antelope on their leased land are not hunted with rifles, there is no rifle season in their area and the antelope bucks grow to be very mature.  If you’re a bow hunter and you want a trophy antelope, we have the bucks for you!

Hunts include meals, lodging, guiding and transportation during the hunt.

Turkey

They have some of the best Merriam turkey hunts available!  They have a large turkey population and they have been virtually un-hunted for many years.  This is your chance to bag a big tom.

Hunts include meals, lodging, guiding and transportation during the hunt.

Upland Bird

If you want to hunt wild birds, they are the place for you.  Their swamp bottoms and fields are a super habitat for our wild pheasant and grouse.  If you want to bring your own dog for a couple of days, please give them a call.

Hunts include meals, lodging, guiding and transportation during the hunt.

Start the morning off hunting pheasants, head back to the lodge for some food and trap shooting, then spend the afternoon and evening hunting wild grouse/prairie chickens.  Three pheasant limit (pen raised birds) and three grouse/prairie chicken (wild birds) per day.

Prairie Dogs

Experience the thrill of Western United State varmint hunting!  Prairie dogs offer plentiful targets, so bring plenty of ammo.  They offer prairie dog hunts from March to August.  Hunts do not include lodging.  Expect to shoot 150-250 rounds per day.
