News AT THE SNAKE RIVER CONNECTION:

Dec 23, 2011   Post a few more pictures.  We'd like to wish all of our friends, in all of the many states, a very Merry Christmas.  

Dec 7, 2011   Just posted a couple more 2011 pictures.  Sorry for the delay.  Still more pictures coming.  Please check back.    

Nov 22, 2011  The 2011 season is in the books.  It was fairly successful season.  We took 3 mule deer and 4 whitetail bucks.  The rut was in moderate force the entire time.  It was hard to find a buck (mule or whitetail) that did have a doe by his side, or was on the prowl.  I'm still collecting pictures, so stay tuned for updates.

Nov 6, 2011  Opening rifle is 5 days away!  Time for last minute preparations.  Scope mounts tight - check.  Key to gun lock packed?  Hunter orange, tags?  The forecast looks on target highs in the mid 40's, lows overnight lower 20's.  Deer movement is picking up.  Were excited too!  We're looking forward to a safe and successful hunt.  Drive with care!

Oct 1, 2011   New Game Camera pictures!  The mulies are still in the hills.  The number of deer looks very good and we've seen some real nice bucks making scrapes.  The weather has been amazing and deer look fat!  We're just about all booked up for 2012!  

Aug 24, 2011    Check out the nice game camera pictures of some outstanding trophy whitetails and mulies.

Aug 1, 2011    Hills look great!  The rain has keep the grass growing nicely.   Snake River photo      Sandhills photo1

July 20, 2011    Now is the time to go through that rifle.  Check to be certain it is great working order, and that scope is good-n-snug.  Then get out and put some rounds through it be sure you feel comfortable at some some decent distances.  Find the load you plan on using and get familiar with the ballistics.     

July 10, 2011    Pat and Bob report that they've seen a good number of fawns.  And even better yet, the bucks have the antlers underway. :)   The meadows and the hills look great.   Don't forget to buy those tags on Monday 7/11/11!!      

July 7, 2011    The Sandhills look amazing.  We've had ample rain and warm weather so the meadows and hills look great. There should be plenty of good nutrients for those antlers.  It is just about time to get those non-resident deer permits.  The application period starts on July 7th!!   http://outdoornebraska.ne.gov/          

May 16, 2011  We've had some nice rain, the warm weather is kicking in.  Looks like the deer have wintered well.

Feb 24, 2011   2011 Nebraska deer permits will go on sale on July 11, 2011.  This is one month later than normal.  Be sure to specify the Sand hills unit.  Permit Link.

Feb 12, 2011   Have seen some very nice mule bucks in the home meadow - still sporting their 2010 antler.  

Jan 31, 2011  We are fully booked for 2011 rifle season.  If you have interest in the 2012 season, please send and e-mail so we can get you on our list.

Dec 25, 2010   Had a very good rifle hunt.  We took 7 Whitetails and 1 mule deer.  The Whitetails were really in rut during the season.   We currently have 3 spots available for the 2011 rifle season.

-  Dec 2009   Bob and Pat added a new blind.  The blind is called number 6.  This blind is about 1 mile west of number 5.  The west Snake pasture is two miles long and follows the river.  Because of the continuous tree line that follows the river, and the extremely rough hills, this is area is excellent deer hunting.  Access to this pasture has always been a issue, but now you can drive within 1/4 mile of the bind.  I'm sure this will be a great addition to 6 permanent blinds already in place.  Below are a few pictures of the blind looking East, West and North.  From this blind you can see deer coming for miles, and fortunately it is all Snake River Connection property!  This blind offers the best mule deer hunting in Nebraska, if not the entire Midwest.
