Hunts
Upland
September -MarchUpland hunting is at the heart of Ruggs Ranch. Thousands of acres of varied habitat, from creek bottoms and grassy draws to sagebrush hills and rocky slopes, support healthy populations of Pheasants, California Quail, Hungarian Partridge, and Chukar.
Guests can choose from thoughtfully managed upland hunts or pursue the challenge of wild birds that have established naturally reproducing populations across the ranch. Many visitors choose to experience both during their stay, enjoying the consistency of a managed hunt alongside the excitement and unpredictability of pursuing wild birds.
No matter which experience you choose, every hunt is guided by knowledgeable professionals and hardworking dogs, with terrain that changes from one day to the next.
Big Game
Mid September - NovemberRuggs Ranch offers guided archery and rifle hunts for Mule Deer and Elk across the diverse landscapes of Eastern Oregon.
Our guides adapt each hunt to the season, weather, and animal movement, creating opportunities across a range of terrain. Whether you're looking for an early-season archery hunt or a classic western rifle hunt, you'll experience the challenge, patience, and reward that define big game hunting in the West.
