PONDEROSA RANCH

Merriam's Turkey Hunting

The Ponderosa Ranch offers semi-guided *   hunting on this scenic 3,300-acre working ranch which is on top of the Pine Ridge area of Northwest Nebraska.  Our package includes up to 5 nights, 5  meals, and 4 days of semi-guided hunting.  For the shotgun season, we can handle one or two groups of 2 to 4 hunters.  If there are two groups, each group will have one end of the ranch entirely to themselves. 

 

 

*  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.
