Deer Camp 2025
Ten spellbound days in the Nebraska Sandhills
For over a quarter of a century I've had the incredible opportunity to share the Sandhills with deer hunters from all over the United States. These folks come not only to hunt, but to experience this enchanting land. I took some snapshots along the way to portray this year's adventure. Enjoy!
Sunrise.
Another glorious day begins.
Another hunter spots us.
A winged hunter adorned a gate post with half of a kangaroo rat.
A wanton whitetail is hot on the scent of a doe.
His fatal mistake.
Warm, calm days pushed the deer into shady holes.
Hiding in a washed-out cow trail.
Distant antlers in the grass.
Can you spot the doe?
This old boy came out from hiding before sundown.
This whitetail succumbed to a precise long shot.
A mingling of ducks and swans.
The waxing moon is a thin fingernail following the sun's path into the western horizon.
Saying farewell to another rifle season in the Sandhills.
Thank you Scott and Emma Kuhn of Deer Meadows Outfitters for hosting another fantastic hunt this year. I will never take for granted the beauty of this extraordinary land and the wonderful creatures that call this place home.
