South-Central Nebraska offers Trophy Whitetail, Mule Deer, Turkey, Predator, and Upland Game hunts on private farms and ranches. We keep a high percentage of trophy class bucks taken every year by this experienced guide this is the perfect place to get you a trophy wall hanging buck.

This Outfitter has a long history in South-Central Nebraska and our family has been hunting these lands for over 70 years for trophy mule deer, whitetail, upland game and wild turkey.  Just south of Smithfield, Nebraska (pop. 60) lays Turkey Creek Farms bought by his Great Grandfather Herman Kuck in 1935.  This farm has raised four generations of hard working, dedicated farmers and hunters living off of the land.  

Our lands are working farms and ranches all owned by many of the dedicated and hard working families putting food on the plates of thousands of Americans.  Many things have changed in the last 70 plus years, but our commitment to the God’s Green Earth, his Wildlife, Natural Resources and the land we call our home is steadfast.  With such a longstanding commitment to our community we still have many working relationships with our friends and neighbors who allow us to hunt on various properties besides Turkey Creek.  The River Ranch is one of those great properties that we lease specifically for hunting through family contacts and we are honored to have the exclusive rights to hunt this ranch with our clients.  The River Ranch covers over 4000 acres of open rolling land, crop fields, river frontage, and creek bottoms filled with deer, turkey and pheasant.

 While we cannot guarantee every client is going to take home a trophy animal, we know you will not find a harder working, more dedicated group of guides in the country. 

 We know this land, we know the animals that reside on our land, and we know how to best hunt it.  We live and ranch on this land all year and our hunting mentality never really ends.  Once the season is over, the freezers are filled, the guns cleaned and set away, we are still out on this land, farming, ranching, shed hunting, planting food plots, and preparing for the next season.  We take a lot of pride in our land and our animals and we are excited to show our hunters the best that Nebraska has to offer.

 We are here to help you plan your Nebraska Trophy Hunt and if we can answer any questions you may have, please do not hesitate to give us a call to discuss these questions along with open dates and packages.
