Nebraska is a Great Plains sleeper, offering hunters a remarkable mix of trophy whitetail and mule deer, world-class upland bird hunting, and the spectacle of the Sandhill crane and waterfowl migration. Hunting guides in Nebraska work the river-bottom timber along the Platte, Republican, and Missouri rivers for big bucks, while upland outfitters run dogs across the Sandhills and farm country for pheasant, quail, and prairie grouse.
Fishing in Nebraska centers on its reservoirs and rivers. Lake McConaughy, the state's largest, holds walleye, white bass, and trout, while the Missouri River border and Sandhill lakes add walleye, catfish, and panfish. The state's accessible tags and large public-land and walk-in access programs make it one of the more affordable Western-edge hunting destinations for traveling sportsmen.
