Mueller Recommends Scott Croner Both Personally and Professionally

It’s been my pleasure, as member of Nebraska Hunting Company Hunting Club, to have frequent encounters, over the last two years, with Scott Croner. Thanks to his assistance and advice—I’ve had TWO DREAM SEASONS! The Club has a diverse membership of military and civilian personnel, and under Scott’s leadership, it all works together as one unified group, even to the point of assisting other customers. Scott epitomizes the very best in an outfitter and guide! When he tells you what equipment you need, he’s right on the mark; and when he tells you where to look for a particular type of game, believe me that’s where you’ll find it! Scott truly likes people and works well with everyone, especially kids and others requiring a little extra help, ensuring that one and all have a great hunting experience. One that is as pleasurable, comfortable, safe, and successful. I don’t know of single person that has gone away dissatisfied!
Scott is a hard working individual, and a man of the utmost integrity dedicating himself to ensuring his customers receive the best value for their dollar and have a safe, successful hunt. He judicially safeguards the environment and works diligently with land owners to ensure everyone has a win-win experience! On the occasions that I met landowners, when with Scott, they treated us like family. Scott is the type of person that people are drawn to and instantly trust—in my experience, this trust is well founded! During the time I have known him, Scott has extended himself far above and beyond what anyone could ever expect, and it’s my privilege to say I know and have hunted with him. I call him “My Friend”!

If you want a really great hunt and singularly satisfying outdoor experience, call Scott!

Sincerely,
Jim Mueller
THE HAPPY HUNTER!

Ellis Scores On A Big 8 "Nebraska Trophy Whitetail" With Scott Croner And The Nebraska Hunting Company

After going Merriam's turkey hunting with Scott Croner in May and tagging out I knew I had to go on a deer hunt with him when the opportunity came up. I booked my deer hunt for muzzleloader season the second week in December. After talking to Scott several times on the phone before I arrived I was very excited about what he was telling me he had been seeing. I arrived in Nebraska City mid afternoon and was greeted by Scott. He took me to a spot on the edge of a soybean field and said he had been seeing a 140-150 class buck in the area along with some 130 class bucks. Two hours later I caught a glimpse of a big buck walking a ridge across from me. I grunted and he turned and walked right towards me. I guess buck fever set in because I made a bad shot and hit him in the gut. Scott and I blood trailed him for a little while that evening but decided to back out when we ran out of blood and lost light. The next morning I was happy to see Scott had two other people with him to help us find the deer. It took us about an hour and we found him the biggest buck I've ever taken a 144" 8-pointer. I've hunted with 6 different outfitters in my life and Scott Croner is the best I have hunted with. I already have a deer hunt booked for next deer season and plan on booking many more.

John Elashik - Dreams of Nebraska Merriam's Turkeys

Scott,

I wanted to say Thank You for everything you did for my dad and me to make such a memorable hunt. Your knowledge, experience and willingness to get on turkeys is second to none. If someone would have told me I would be getting charged by huge Tom at 20 yards once he saw the fan you carry, I would have called them a liar. It is an experience and memory my dad and I will have for a lifetime. Also, we were both amazed on the amount of turkey we saw. We never thought we would see over 200 birds in 2 days. We are already counting down the days to next years hunt!

Pheasant Hunting Equipment - Checklist

Pheasant Hunting - Clothing

The fields you'll be walking through are not manicured, they have stickers, briars and some wet spots. Designer jeans will not survive, but if your kids need them ripped up we can oblige. A sturdy canvas or hunting trouser is what you want. You will see many hunters wearing trousers with a reinforced canvas front and they seem to work well. I have worn tennis shoes while hunting; however, the price you pay are wet feet with stickers in them and usually socks filled with seeds and trash. Better to have a pair of low boots that are well broken in.

This is a social event for some groups, you know best if you need to keep up with the Jones. Your guides will be wearing walking boots, jeans, flannel and a jacket dependent on the day. Some type of orange clothing is required during hunting; this may be a hat, vest or shirt. Temperatures range from 40-70f during the day; evenings the temp drops to freezing some nights. A shirt or sweat shirt combined with a light jacket allows you to adjust layers as the temperature changes.

Shooting glasses are recommended. They protect your eyes from brush, accidents and, depending on the color, can at times enable you to pick up the bird faster.

Bring ear plugs or muffs. You may not want or wear them during hunting, but most people do some target shooting in the morning or evening.

Bring a quality shears or scissors if you intend to clean birds-it helps. Also, plastic bags if you're transporting the birds.

Below are some check lists that people have used in the past.
