With the days starting to cool off in the evenings, the feel of fall is getting close, and we all know what that means...hunting season is right around the corner. The antlers are still growing and the velvet is still attached, but it won't be long until archery season will open in Nebraska. The antler growth this year is better than the antler growth the last couple years due to the grass quality being better due to less moisture. I know it really doesn't make sense, but the grass grows slower on drier years with more nutrients than a wet year when the grass grows quickly with less nutrients. The mule deer numbers on all our private leases are up and the herd health is great!!! The whitetail numbers are always good and there are going to be some really nice bucks taken this year. We still have some openings for fall archery next year and for fall muzzle hunts also. We are booking fall 2022 rifle hunts with over the counter tags and with a super high success harvest rate the hunting couldn't be better. Hope everyone is all set for this fall and best of luck hunting!!!
