Guests are welcomed on their first night with a hearty, home-cooked Nebraskan meal—a warm introduction to the hospitality and tradition that define our hunting experience. Jayme will take you out and show you around the land, then you are free to hunt wherever you would like. Hike through pines, meadows, ravines, and creek with greetings from mule deer and Merriam’s wild turkey—and the unforgettable chance to witness herds of elk roaming the land.

“Ponderosa Ranch is everything a turkey hunter could ask for. Lots of turkeys, and lots of ground to work with. Not to mention Jayme and Marci treated me like family. You can defiantly tell they put a lot of effort into managing the ranch. 10/10 experience!”
