Ruggs Ranch is a world-class hunting destination in Oregon offering an unrivaled Western experience across more than 100,000 acres of pristine wilderness and expertly managed hunting grounds. Guests come for the wild bird hunting, big game pursuits, and the kind of wide-open country that's getting harder to find. Whether you're chasing upland birds or hunting elk in the Blue Mountains, Ruggs Ranch delivers a full-service hunt with legendary guiding and genuine Western hospitality.

Ruggs Ranch is located outside of Heppner, Oregon at 55549 Hwy 207, Heppner, Oregon. Guests flying commercial will find the most convenient access through Pasco, Washington or Portland International Airport. For those flying private, we recommend Lexington Airport as your closest option.

Ruggs Ranch offers a complete hunting experience for both upland bird and big game hunters:

• Upland Bird Hunting — Four species of upland birds with no bag limit on preserve: Hungarian partridge, chukar, pheasant, and quail.

• Turkey Hunting — Spring Merriam turkey hunts in heart-pounding country.

• Big Game Hunting — Guided mule deer and elk hunts out of a dedicated big game camp in the Blue Mountains.

All hunts are fully guided with expert guides and well-trained dogs.

Your day at Ruggs Ranch is built around the hunt:

• Morning — Start with a hearty breakfast at the lodge, then head out for a morning hunt with your guide.

• Midday — Return for lunch and a chance to rest up.

• Afternoon — Head back out for an afternoon hunt.

• Evening — Return to the lodge for cocktails and appetizers. A great time to swap stories from the field.

Ruggs Ranch spans more than 100,000 acres of wilderness and managed hunting grounds. It is larger than any other premier Western wingshooting lodge in North America, which means wide open country, uncrowded hunts, and wild birds in their natural habitat.

Check-in is at 3:00 PM.

Yes, guests are welcome to bring their dogs. Please note that dogs are not permitted inside the lodge.

Eastern Oregon weather can vary significantly throughout the hunting season. Wind, rain, and snow are all possible depending on the time of year. We recommend packing layers — sturdy upland hunting boots, blaze orange, and a wind-resistant outer shell will serve you well in the field.

A 15% gratuity is automatically added to your bill and is distributed to the lodge staff. Please note that hunting guides are not part of this tip pool. Tipping your guide separately is customary and appreciated — they work hard in the field to make your experience exceptional, and a personal tip goes directly to them.
