Nestled in the Pine Ridge of Nebraska, we offer deer, turkey, and coyote hunting on a beautiful, timbered 3,600 acre ranch—and the unforgettable chance to witness herds of elk roaming the land.

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.

Hike through pines, meadows, ravines and creek with greetings from mule deer and Merriam’s wild turkey.

“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!”
