jlmiller35 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm a regular spot light hunter in Eastern Nebraska by Saunders and Dodge county. Recently I've been super excited for deer season (hoping to be the first girl....actually first person...in my family of 8 people to bring home a deer.) I realize Eastern Nebraska probably isn't the best place for bucks so i'm hunting does only. (My family loves deer meat so that's all I need) And I've spent the first two mornings of firearm season sitting out in my friends' field but have been unsuccessful with the exception of hearing coyotes far away from where I was. I'm curious if anyone around Eastern Nebraska has either a place they know I could hunt and bring something home, or could point me in the right direction. I'm heading to Cass County this weekend but I'm open to any advice. If I'm hoping to be the first person out of my family to bring home a deer that should be an indicator that I have little concrete knowledge about hunting and where the best places are. Keep in mind i'm looking for does only. Thanks! ~Jacquelynne Quote Link to comment

They might be smelling you? Quote Link to comment
Stu Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 My uncle and two buddies haven't had any luck either. Deer population is way down this year thanks to disease. This is the reason I didn't go deer hunting this year. Just doesn't seem right to take a nice buck or doe with this going around. http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/blogs/2012/09/ehd-continues-kill-nebraska-deer-2/ Quote Link to comment
