I was in a larger family club just northeast of Beatrice for several years. The deer numbers were somewhat lower than I would have expected, or there was just so much thick cover they were just very elusive. Every now and then someone in our group would kill a real stud. One of the older members in our group who had been hunting in that area for over 40 years often commented that the quality of the deer had gone down over the years and contributed most of the decline due to the conversion of a lot of ag into pines.
That being said IMHO, I always enjoyed hunting down there because it was so remote and knew it had the potential to produce some really nice bucks.
Good luck, I think you can have a quality experience
