Benkelman, Nebraska
Experience the thrill of a tom turkey coming to the call.
Hunters of any skill level or ability can enjoy a two or three day hunt on nearly two miles of river bottom land. The property is family-friendly, with activities available to the non-hunting guest. Private ponds for trophy bass fishing and the neighboring city golf course are available to our guests. Our lodge is equipped with a full kitchen, laundry, bathroom and shower and satellite TV. Our campground has a full kitchen, laundry and bath house and five full hookup camper pads.
This property consists of nearly two miles of the Republican River bottom in SW Nebraska, and is managed for wildlife and other recreational opportunities. Merriam’s Turkeys were reintroduced into the area over 30 years ago and now are the predominant wildlife along the river. It is not uncommon to have them strutting and feeding within yards of the campground. We do not allow hunting near the camp ground and all of our hunters have commented on getting to experience the birds close up. The turkey population has grown thanks to the mild winters and we allow the harvest of any bearded turkey.
Choose either archery or shotgun season. We hunt from ground blinds over decoys in the spring and spot-and-stalk in the fall.
Lodging for our hunts is in clean, 20ft modern camp trailers with heat and water. Access is limited to foot traffic off the established roads and, depending on road conditions, pickup trucks or golf carts are used to get to and from the field. We can make arrangements to get physically challenged hunters to the blinds in pickups or with a UTV.
Guided Hunts Available (2 hunters per guide).
