IMB Outfitters is also located in South Central, Nebraska along the Kansas line. Nebraska is a bit of a “sleeper” state. During the
2008 Season the State of Nebraska presented a 137% trophy shot opportunity success rate. All camps
during 2008 were over 100% shot success rate on trophy
bucks. Need we say anything else? 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
2009 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.
Rifle
Hunts: Season dates are as follows: Season 1: Nov.
13th - Nov. 16th, Season 2: Nov. 18th - Nov. 21st.
Archery
Hunts:
Nebraska
Archery hunting proved to be nothing short of spectacular
during the 2008 hunt season. The Nebraska Manager reported
Nebraska
offered a 200% shot opportunity rate at trophy whitetail
bucks. In 2008, 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
2008 season, we presented a trophy buck shot success rate in Nebraska of
137%. NOTE: No promise or guaranteed shots at trophy bucks are made by IMB Outfitters. Nebraska Location:
Our Nebraska deer hunting is located in Alma, 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. Nebraska Lodge:

SINGLE
STATE
PASS
: IMB
has devised a Single State Pass. This has been done upon
popular request by hunters. A
Single
State
Pass
provides the hunter with unlimited hunt access year round for
both turkey and whitetail deer hunting. In essence a
hunter who purchases a
Single
State
Pass
can hunt that State as much as he or she desires. Full
year round unlimited access. For
example if a hunter would purchase a
Missouri
State
Pass
then the hunter can hunt
Missouri
for turkey and deer year round with unlimited access. Hunt
all year long on an unlimited basis in any of our 5 States.
Of course in
Missouri
the hunter could harvest an 2 bucks, unlimited does, and 4
turkeys. The
State
Pass
provides a bonanza of unlimited hunting for one low price.
The
Single
State
Pass
is much cheaper than a land lease and provides as much hunting
as any hunter could imagine. In
Illinois
a hunter can harvest 2 bucks and 2 turkeys. In
Iowa
a hunter can harvest 1 buck and 1 turkey. In
Nebraska
a hunter can harvest 2 bucks and 3 turkeys. In
Kansas
a hunter can harvest 2 bucks and 2 turkeys. The
State
Pass
is the ultimate budget cut for the serious whitetail enthusiast
as the cost is less than 2 hunts.
COST: $6500
