Moorefield Hunters Getaway is located 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 property is also home to mule deer and whitetail deer. Turkey and upland bird hunting and fur trapping is also available. For a complete guide to hunting in Nebraska check with the Nebraska Game and Parks, Outdoor Nebraska website.

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.
