Private Oregon Hunting Ranches
We are always in search of exceptional Oregon hunting ranches for our guided deer and elk hunts. Below you will find the ranches where we will be leasing hunting privileges for the coming season.
Castle Rock Ranch
This 30,000 acre private ranch has produced our best Mule deer and Rocky Mountain elk for the last two years. We have taken some great bucks with heavy mass scoring in the 190' class and our bulls have been scoring in the 300"s with a 340 taken last season. This ranch lays in the Beulah unit of Eastern Oregon. The open sagebrush-dotted country with rocky rims and mountain mahogany provides miles of quality hunting for Mule deer. Large fields and meadows draw the Rocky Mountain elk and Mule deer from the surrounding country.
MORGAN LAKE RANCH
This Private ranch is run by a family member. Butch has leased this ranch for several years for his cattle operation. It is not a big private ranch, but it has lots of Rocky Mountain elk on it. There is no Archery hunts on this ranch, as it is fairly open county. This private ranch is located about one hour from La Grande, Oregon. We only let two trophy Elk hunters on it a year for big bulls. We also have a spike bull hunt on this ranch for the second elk hunting season. We are 100% on this spike bull hunt. ($1,500) five day hunt.
PEDRO MOUNTAIN RANCH
A private Oregon hunting ranch of 28,000 acres that has been locked up for 8 years. It has been lightly hunted by the owner. This private ranch has Mule deer bucks as good or better than the Castle Rock ranch. There are mature Mule deer bucks with great mass and spreads in the 190 class. 300 class Rocky Mountain elk bulls reside on this ranch. This ranch is about an hour and half away from the Castle Rock ranch. It has high basins and timbered draws. There are sage-brush flats with great feed on the South slopes. We have a private road to the top of Pedro Mt. For us to use for spotting-stalking. There is great gold rush history in this area, but the hunting is awesome! The Rifle hunters will find that there is no better place to hunt for Mule deer or Rocky Mountain elk. The chance for the Bow hunter to take a Pope & Young class trophy is fantastic on this ranch.
BUCKAROO RANCH
This is a private timberlands ranch, with no buildings on it. It has 16,000 acres of some of the best archery hunting that you will find anywhere. We have had it for 8 years now and have taken some really great Rocky Mountain elk bulls in the 300 -340 class over the last few years. The Mule deer herd is small but there are some very mature bucks on this ranch. Our rifle hunters love it as they call it the Grandpa ranch as the terrain is very easy to hunt. There are no Mountains or canyons to worry about. Our wall tent hunting camp here is very comfortable, as we can drive right to it. This allows us to bring in all of our equipment, plus you can bring in all of your goodies as well.
Ochoco National Forest Hunting
The Ochoco National Forest Rocky Mountain elk hunting is a great hunt. We have been 60% successful with branch antler bulls. The Ochoco's are a draw unit for the rifle and bow hunter alike. We have Outfitter tags for the Paulina district of the Ochoco National Forest. We are the only licensed Outfitter in this unit. The forest is managed for trophy Rocky Mountain elk. With some very nice bulls scoring in the 300 class each year. It has a small wilderness as well as a major road closure system that make it a great hunt. They give out a very limited number of rifle elk tags and archery tags as well. The Mule deer numbers a very high in this unit, as well as Antelope. We do a nice wall tent hunting camp that we drive into and out of each day.
