PONDEROSA RANCH

Hunting

White Tail and Mule Deer

mule deer hunters on our working cattle ranch in Nebraska

The Ponderosa Ranch offers semi-guided * hunting on this scenic 3,300-acre working cattle ranch which is on top of the Pine Ridge area of Northwest Nebraska. Our package includes lodging up to 5 nights, 5 meals, and 4 days of semi-guided hunting. Extra meals are available. For the rifle season, we take two groups of 3 to 4 hunters each. Each group will have one end of the ranch entirely to themselves. We also take in a limited number of archery and black powder hunters.

Semi-guided means that we will drive you around the ranch to show you where fences, gates, stock tanks/creeks and boundary fences are. Plan to arrive at the Ponderosa Ranch early afternoon (during daylight) the day before your hunt starts. You will be provided with a topographic ranch map. The headquarter area is situated in the center of the ranch. You can either walk from the cabin to hunt, or may need a 4x4 vehicle.
