Sheep Creek Farm and Hunt is an exceptional property that seamlessly blends agricultural productivity with unparalleled recreational opportunities. There is incredible waterfowl hunting and plenty of year-round water for birds to use. With five in-ground pits, migrating birds such as ducks and geese can be hunted over the three 15-foot-deep ponds throughout the property. The ponds are stocked with fish, which provides even more recreational opportunities. During the winter months, when the ponds freeze over, which is rare, the 1.5 miles (+/-) of North Platte River becomes a magnet for all manner of waterfowl, and the warm water sloughs and abundant feed on the property bring waterfowl in by the thousands.

The diverse habitat and expansive acreage also make it a haven for upland birds, which are frequently spotted throughout the landscape. Deer are abundant, drawn to the property by its perfect combination of location, food, water, and cover. The wooded river bottom spans throughout the property, presenting excellent turkey hunting opportunities. The current owner has meticulously planted 1100 trees on the river, which only aids in the common presence of wildlife. During the warmer months, an angler would enjoy fishing for trout in Sheep Creek, which runs along the property boundary. The three ponds that are great for waterfowl hunting also are home to loads of mature rainbow trout. Whether you want to chase one species throughout the year or hunt during every season, Sheep Creek Farm and Hunt has no shortage of recreation.
