If there was a place with unparalleled hunting and breathtaking landscapes it would be Ruggs Ranch in Heppner, Oregon.

Ruggs Ranch meets all hunting expectations and more. Unlike most public hunting grounds, each hunting area is full of thriving and healthy animals that are run at their own disposal.

When people go on their hunt, there are not only looking to kill the biggest buck, but to have a great time while doing it. All money spent on this trip is not wasted; every guide treats its hunters with respect and gives them all the information they need in order to be successful.

If hunters do not have shotguns for bird hunting, then they will provide them with top quality equipment. Also, the guides know where to go so that each hunt will be action packed and most likely successful.

The ranch is private property which means less people are hunting the lands increasing the chance of scoring a buck or bull. Also the grounds are nature preserves which is where each species is reproducing under their control which allows for more diversity and increased population.

Ruggs Ranch offers amazing meals. There are chefs that prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner that comes with the hunt. Everyday there is something different to eat which keeps guests wanting to know what is next.

On another note, the landscapes on the ranch are breathtaking. There are rolling hills that seem like they go on forever. And the weather is super unpredictable so guests better pack for anything.

Although, if people can not live without their phones, then this is not the place for them. There is no service in most places except the for the lodge which does not really matter because deer hunting is held in a camp up in the mountains.

Therefore, this is a very strong option when deciding where to go for an overall amazing experience that guests will never forget.
