Big Blue Ranch & Lodge LLC offers a wonderful retreat for hunters, fishermen, hikers, bird watchers and those seeking pure relaxation. The beautiful cedar log lodge overlooks a scenic 20-acre, spring fed fishing lake on a working Nebraska cattle ranch, and is nestled in the tall grass prairie hills and woodlands of Pawnee County, in SE Nebraska.

Our Nebraska guest ranch ecosystem provides a home to many native Nebraska species, such as whitetail deer, turkey, prairie chicken and other abundant wildlife. At the end of the day, guests can enjoy the outdoors on large covered porches or sit by stone fireplaces to watch a spectacular sunset unfold.

Be amazed by the clear view of the great Milky Way at night, fresh air, and a chance to relax in this secluded country destination. From a row boat, canoe, or a hike around the lake, guests can enjoy all that nature has to offer. Outfitting services and ranch adventures are available to enhance your experience.

Turkey Hunting

Hunting turkey in Nebraska takes experience and great understanding of Merriam's turkeys and their habits. Turkeys in Nebraska are smart, cautious and spooky. But if you have patience and cunning, you will have a great chance at bagging a Nebraska Merriam's turkey or a big hybrid turkey while turkey hunting in Nebraska at the Big Blue Ranch.

Nebraska turkey hunting at the Big Blue Ranch and Lodge is fun, challenging and a great overall outdoor adventure experience. Nebraska turkey hunters will love the challenge of finding one of the many Merriam's turkeys or hybrid turkeys that can be found on the ranch. Trees, grasses and natural creek draws support optimum turkey habitat.

Whitetail Hunting

Nebraska whitetail deer hunting at the Big Blue Ranch and Lodge is a hunting tradition with a long and storied past. The habitat of SE Nebraska supports large populations of whitetail deer due to large areas of woody cover, large grasslands, abundant supplies of food, and low densities of people. Deer hunting in Nebraska is awesome!

Hunting whitetail deer in Nebraska can be done with a rifle, muzzleloader or bow. We will provide you the information needed on the season and tag and license requirements. We will also help you make arrangements for deer processing and/or taxidermist information if you happen to bag a trophy buck.
