Experience a Premier Nebraska Upland Hunt: Guided Pheasant and Quail Hunting Behind Elite Bird Dogs in the Heart of the Sandhills.
At Clear Creek Upland Game Lodge, we believe a great hunt isn't measured solely by the limit, but by the quality of the miles covered and the stories told afterward. Located just outside of Bartlett, Nebraska, our lodge was founded on a simple realization: the best days in the field happen when passion meets preparation. We aren't just a destination; we are stewards of a landscape we love and a tradition we’re proud to pass on.
Built on years of experience and a genuine love for the outdoors, Clear Creek Upland Game Lodge offers an upland hunting experience that’s meant to be felt, not just booked. Located near Bartlett in the heart of Nebraska’s Sandhills, every hunt is thoughtfully put together with a focus on well-run days in the field, exceptional dog work, and a pace that allows you to truly enjoy the entire experience.
Kevin is the main man here at Clear Creek. He was the one who found this property back in 1997. He saw the potential in it, had a vision of what it could be, and went to work turning it into what it is today. As the owner of Clear Creek and the patriarch of the Kasselder family, Kevin has his hands in everything, from game keeper to field dresser, guide to groundskeeper, bartender to master cook, and everything in between.
Sid and Clear Creek go way back. As one of Kevin's college buddies, Sid has been involved in the operation since day one. He's one of the expert guides here, and his colleagues describe him as "very loyal" and "just one of those guys everyone likes." He's a skilled dog trainer, and as an expert guide here at the lodge, it should come as no surprise that he's a great guy to hunt with. Sid is an absolute staple in the Clear Creek family.
Been part of the operation since day one. Left for college, once I returned to the area I went into the ag sales force for a couple years before jumping back into the family business in 2017. Since being back, I got married to my wife Shelby in June of 2021. After a few years of marriage, we have brought a little girl and boy into the world. They all play a huge role in our business and look forward to the future of this business with my family!
The dogs are ready, the cover is prime, and the lodge fire is waiting for the stories only a day in the field can provide. We invite you to experience an upland hunt where the details are handled with the same pride we take in our bird work. Whether you are planning a corporate retreat or a traditional getaway with lifelong friends, our calendar fills quickly as the season approaches. Reach out today to check our remaining availability, discuss custom group packages, and start planning an all-inclusive Nebraska adventure that feels like coming home.
