By 1994, Clyde Albers had grown weary of asking others for permission to hunt on ground he didn't own. So Clyde spoke to his banker about buying some bottomland near his home in Minden, Neb. The banker told him that he would approve the loan, but, for the same price, he had even more land in Lincoln County for sale.
Clyde looked the 160-acre tract over thoroughly. It was almost two hours from his home. The land contained some swampy areas bordered by clover patches, lots of trees and plenty of cover for deer. Pleased with what he saw, Clyde bought the place.
When Clyde's son, Nick, was old enough to deer hunt, they put a camper in the middle of the parcel, using it as their "home away from home" on hunting trips. They both took a lot of deer off the property, but none could compare to the one that Clyde bagged last season.
