IMB Outfitters is also located in South Central, Nebraska along the Kansas line. Nebraska is a bit of a “sleeper” state. During the 2006 Season the State of Nebraska led the way among all 5 States which IMB hunts with a 193% trophy shot opportunity success rate. All camps during 2007 were over 100% shot success rate on trophy bucks. Need we say anything else? To think there is anywhere in the world one can go hunt Record Book Whitetails with a 193% shot success rate. In 2005, we hunted Nebraska for the first time in the history of IMB Outfitters. IMB Owner, Darrin Bradley states, “We are dedicated to the expansion of our Nebraska division. We will present new properties for the 2008 season which have not been hunted by an outfitter before.”

Firearms Hunts: The State of Nebraska allows rifle hunting. The firearms tags are obtained in two manners: 

#1, Republican Area offers rifles tags for sale over the counter on a “first come, first serve” basis. This process is open to residents first, and non residents second. Past history reflects all rifle tags were purchased by residents, in former years, leaving no rifle tags available for the non resident hunters. This has kept non residents from hunting the State of Nebraska. 

#2, Beginning in 2006 Nebraska began to allow a second statewide procedure which will finally allow non residents access to Nebraska’s Firearm hunting of whitetail deer. Prior to this time, non residents could not access the State of Nebraska for firearm hunting. This explains perfectly why Nebraska is gonna hold some big deer for IMB hunters for a long time. A Statewide pool of tags available at a higher cost (around $350) will be sold on a “first come, first serve” basis. Residents will be able to purchase tags prior to the State opening sales of said tags to non residents. What tags exist will then be offered to non resident applicants. In short, Nebraska’s Game and Parks Commission forecasts that residents will not pay for a higher tag fee, and that the larger pool will leave other tags open for sales to non resident hunters even if higher tag fees are not a deterrent. This process begins at the end of June. Tags are purchased at any District Office of Game and Parks Commission or online at Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Website. IMB Outfitters will assist their hunters with the pursuit of the Nebraska Firearms Tags.

Season dates are as follows: Season 1: Nov. 15th - Nov. 18th, Season 2: Nov. 20th - Nov. 23rd.

Archery Hunts: Nebraska Archery hunting proved to be nothing short of spectacular during the 2006 hunt season. The Nebraska Manager reported Nebraska offered a 288% shot opportunity rate at trophy whitetail bucks. In 2007, success were lower, but it was the only state that in every camp success rates exceeded 100%. This is vastly due to the location in Franklin County, along the Republican River Basin. It is here that whitetail habitat thrives with a mix of agricultural crops, and spooky cottonwood timber lots lying adjacent to the majestic waterway. The archery season runs from September 15th to December 31st with tags available over the counter for $172. Tags are guaranteed. 

Muzzleloader Hunts: Nebraska also offers a muzzleloader only hunt from 12-1 to 12-31. Hunters may choose any 3 days to pursue trophy whitetails with muzzleloader only, during these times. The tag is obtained over the counter at Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Offices or online. Tags are guaranteed. 
     

Success Rates: We calculate success rates by dividing the number of trophy buck or 130 inch buck shot opportunities reported by our hunters, by the number of hunters we take each year in that particular state. During the 2006 season we presented a trophy buck shot success rate in Nebraska of 193%. NOTE: No promise or guaranteed shots at trophy bucks are made by IMB Outfitters. 

Nebraska Location: Our Nebraska deer hunting is located in Bloomington, Nebraska. The closest airport would be Kearney, Nebraska. A friendly airport located within an hour of our lodgesite. Those traveling by motor vehicle may obtain a detailed map from our “trip information” page.
