DIY Public Land Nebraska Mule Deer
I shot my first mule deer earlier this week during the Nebraska gun season. A friend and I hunted the Pine Ridge unit in the northwestern corner of the state. We were each looking for a nice 4x4 but we didn't see anything bigger than 3x3. We talked to a lot of other hunters at the registration station and while there are some big mule deer and whitetail bucks on public land, the majority of big bucks were shot on private land. I shot the biggest mule deer I saw in the hills of the Pine Ridge at 230 yds. NE Game & Parks aged him at 2.5 yo. It was a fun hunt for OTC tags but pressure was fairly high on the public land.

Great buck mountain man! I've talked to a few game wardens from up that way and that area was hit hard by disease a few years ago they said. Also before that they had big wild fires up there so great job on harvesting a good buck!

Re: DIY Public Land Nebraska Mule Deer
Congrats Mountain Man. I hunted SW Nebraska back in 08. I never saw a buck. That is a big bodied deer and I definitely want to go back to NE.
