JOHNNY CREEK, LIFFENGREN RANCH UP FOR SALE |
| I grew up hunting Johnny creek before my aunt Edna Liffengren purchased it somewhere in the 60’s or a bit latter. Except for a few years in the military in the 60’s and because I was living out of state in the 70’s, I have hunted it and have shared the hunting rights until December of 2022. It started out with Jackrabbits and progressed to pheasants, sharptail, prairie chickens, turkeys, coyotes and deer. It seemed in the early years of deer hunting that the Mulys were all over the place-- the last 15 years have seen more white tail numbers. The creek offers protection and roosting for pheasants and grouse along with nesting areas, water and food. The cultivated ground to the west keeps them in the area. The pasture to the south is grouse heaven if the cover is not to short. Turkeys moved up from the south about 15 years ago and we had great hunting until the last 5 years—numbers down and roost trees limited. We have limited the number of buck deer harvested every year and feel it has helped keep the number of decent--shootable 4x4 and 5x5 deer of both species up. Whoever gets this part of the Liffengren acreage-- you are getting the part that has added many years and a lifetime of memories to my life. I hope you and your friends/family enjoy it as much as I have. ~ Jim Anderson |
Owner: Liffengren Family |
