What town in nebraska are you in? My base camp for turkey season is about an hour NNW of Lincoln in a small town called Linwood.

That's cool. Beautiful buck. Is rifle season there as bad as everyone says? Tons of people or not that bad. Can't be as bad as Michigan but I guess you never know what a persons perspective of alot of people are and what they are used to. Seemed like we had the whole place to ourselves last year. Only saw one other vehicle in the refuge that looked like someone hunting. I may try a rifle or muzzleloader hunt out there in the future.

Agreed, good luck! I have been struggling to not just point the truck out to the west end of the state. Most of the public I hunt in eastern ne is less than 200 acres. Post pictures!

Thanks guys. I will throw some pics up when I get some service. Pretty spotty out there. Hopefully will have some dead deer pics.

Yeah I know around Merritt reservoir where I stay, there is a driveway a couple miles north up the hill that everyone uses as a pull off so they can get service. It's so bad that John who runs the trading post actually makes it a point to tell people where the spots to get reception within ten miles of the lake are.

Got me a nine pointer. Now gotta find two more for my dad and buddy.
