Find your next Nebraska Elk hunt by Unit.

Unit 1

This expansive unit is located in the far northwest corner of the state, bordering Wyoming and South Dakota. It is one of the most sought-after elk hunting areas, attracting applicants for years. Due to the varied terrain, many hunters prefer spot-and-stalk methods, while others choose to observe promising crop fields in the mornings or evenings, similar to deer hunting. Most elk taken in this unit come from the east-central region near Crawford. Recently, both Dawes and Sioux counties have produced several record-book bulls. While there is a significant amount of public land available, elk activity tends to be concentrated on private properties. Given that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for residents, many fortunate tag holders decide to secure access to private areas. Bulls in this region can reach impressive sizes, but limited public hunting options can make success challenging.

Unit 6

This smaller unit is positioned in the north-central part of the state, bordering South Dakota. While there is a good amount of public land available, the best elk habitats and hunting spots are primarily on private property. A small yet robust herd of elk resides in this area, with almost all encounters and harvests occurring on private lands. To improve chances of success, it is advisable to secure private access or work with an outfitter. Most elk taken from this unit are typically found in two main areas: one is located just west of Valentine, between the Niobrara River and the town of Nenzei, while the other is situated on the far eastern side, also between the Niobrara River and Sparks.
