Upland Bird Hunting at the Horseshoe bar Ranch Oregon
Guided Upland Bird Hunting
We offer guided chukar, pheasant, and quail hunting on over 18,000 acres of prime upland habitat in North Central Oregon. The irrigated fields along the John Day River are managed for quality habitat and cover for pheasants, quail, and chukars. We carefully manage the grazing on the uplands of the John Day Canyon to enhance wildlife habitat for wild chukars and Hungarian patridge. The irrigated fields are within walking distance, or short UTV ride, from the hunting lodge and cabins. There are many options to fit each hunters experience level and physical condition. We only allow one group of 6 hunters with a 3 hunter to 1 guide ratio. This insures a high quality hunting experience.
