Western Nebraska Turkey Hunting

Every turkey hunter dreams of the Grand Slam. Make it complete with harvesting the rare Hybrid of the Sandhill’s. These birds are a combination of the southern Rios and the Western Merriam’s. Here at the Rackett we have a huge amount of birds. With multiple areas of wooded landscapes and water sources, large flocks of turkeys make for a ton of action. There’s nothing like the sound of that first spring goggle and the youth hunts that are offered by the state create and opportunity for a youngster to be first one in the woods chasing these long beards. Both archery and shotgun offer seasons well over a month in length. Enjoy a hunt of nonstop turkey action, screaming birds, and long beards. This would be the perfect time to book a combination turkey/pheasant hunt as our CSA pheasant hunting is still running during the beginning of your turkey bow hunt.

Nebraska Lodging

The Rackett offers first class meals and private accommodations. Every morning breakfast will be cooked and served, and every night expect a hot, home cooked meal in our beautiful lodge. After dinner sit back and relax in front of a big screen T.V. After shooting hours you are welcome to help yourself to an open bar that is always stocked. Enjoy a hot shower before bed as every cabin suite has its own attached bathroom with showers ensuring privacy during your amazing experience at the Rackett.

Shooting

The Rackett offers a 12 station sporting clays course along with 4 trap ranges. Start out shooting report doubles and high sailing birds on our sporting clays course. Beginning in a wooded area and closing out up in the Sand Hills, your shots will never look the same and you will end with a spectacular view that will complete your trip. Finish in a draw? Then take it to the trap range. Finish your day shooting as much as you can possibly handle, or as much as it takes to get the win. This is the PERFECT place to introduce young children to the sport of shooting. Safety is our number one concern, and a full day on a trap range with a pro can ensure all the proper teachings about the sport. We offer club guns that are a bit lighter and made to fit young kids with little to no kick.

About Us

Floyd and Margaret Ferrell began purchasing ranch land in the 1930s. Floyd set up a local bank to help ranchers during the Great Depression. The Ferrell’s daughter, Marjorie, grew up enjoying the ranch and later married Hall of Famer Harold Habermann who worked the ranch with Marjorie for 20 years. Their daughter, Margaret Ann, was raised in the same tradition to respect and appreciate the land. As the third generation of owners, Margaret and her husband Stan Baker, a decorated Denver Police officer and investment banker, have taken over the role as caretakers of this historic and special place. Their twin sons will be the fourth generation of family members to carry on the long-held traditions of respect for the community, the land, and its abundant wildlife.
