Effenback Road Hunting Ranch is in the Box Elder Elk management area of the Nebraska Game and Parks. Elk herds once common across all of Nebraska became extinct by 1900. In the 1960s a few elk returned to Nebraska, and in 1986 Nebraska had its first modern elk season. Since then, elk and have expanded into hills and rivers of western Nebraska, and the annual passage of young bulls through eastern Nebraska is a common occurrence. More than 1,600 elk have been harvested since the first season in 1986.

This hunting ranch is also home to mule deer and whitetail deer. Turkey and upland bird hunting and fur trapping is also available on the ranch. For a complete guide to hunting in Nebraska check with the Nebraska Game and Parks, Outdoor Nebraska website.

Effenback Road Hunting Ranch is being offered with 4 Sportsman Condo hunting stand hunting blinds. Over time the Seller has determined that the placement of these blinds offer the best results for your hunting experience. Located near these blinds are 5 game feeders that are also part of the offering.

The property is bisected by an access easement road to the Wapiti Wildlife Management Area. (see more about Wapiti below) After purchasing the property in 2009 the Seller installed a very good fence on both sides of the easement road. The fence and “Private Property” signage has been very successful in prohibiting trespass by recreationalists headed to Wapiti. Locked steel hanging gates on the road offer access to the land owner to several areas of the ranch that would normally be remote to get to.

To the land owner the Wapiti WMA offers an additional 1,920 acres of hunting and recreational opportunities just across the fence. The activity and pressure on Wapiti is also positive for the Effenback Road Hunting Ranch as it offers a sanctuary for the wildlife. The Seller over the years has seen an increase in game.

The fence on the easement road also offers grazing management for the property. There are approximately 265 acres on the north side and 365 acres on the south side. Stock water is provided by a windmill and stock dam on the north and an electric submersible well and 2 stock dams on the south side. A rural electric power line does cross the property east to west just to the north of the easement road.

The property has also been strategically cleared of the evasive cedar trees on several of the hill tops. This has added to the grazing capacity of the property without hurting the wildlife habitat. Historically the property has supported grazing for 65 cow/calf pairs for summer grazing season. The grazing income does offer a residual ROI for the land owner. The Seller did receive about $22,500 in rental income in 2020.

WAPITI WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

The Wapiti Wildlife Management Area is a gem for those wanting to “get away from it all” in a pristine and primitive environment. Located just to the west of the Effenback Road Hunting Ranch, 1,920 acre parcel is rugged and remote. Wapiti is one of only three elk hunting areas in Nebraska and an ideal place to bring a spotting scope, binoculars and a picnic lunch, especially to look for various hawks, vultures and eagles. Rock Wrens, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Say’s Phoebe and many others are found here. Wapiti provides critical habitat for the Box Elder elk herd and endangered American burying beetle. It will also support other wildlife including whitetail and mule deer, coyotes, turkeys, mourning doves, and other wildlife.

LOESS CANYON REGION of NEBRASKA

This unique ecosystem located south of the Platte River valley and southeast of North Platte is comprised of about 340,000 acres of silty soils, which long ago eroded into narrow gulches and steep canyons. These hills support mixed-grass prairie and scattered cropland. The mixed-grass prairies have been highly invaded by eastern red cedars in recent decades. Though the cedars have limited the grazing capacity of the rangeland they have created fantastic wildlife habitat for elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, turkey and many species of fur baring animals including coyote, bobcat and raccoon. Upland bird hunting including prairie chicken and grouse is also active in this region.

NORTH PLATTE AND REGIONAL INFORMATION
