It is hard to tell what our guests enjoy the most - our unlimited upland bird hunting for pheasant, chukar, valley quail and Huns, or our world-class lodging.
Many have told us the wingshooting at Highland Hills Ranch is the best they've ever experienced and the lodge is the finest they have ever visited. "It's just like coming home" is the comment we most often hear.
This finely appointed lodge is 10,000 square feet of custom-built quality. The hand-peeled logs, old world charm, oversized rock fireplaces, and use of natural materials throughout provide a relaxing atmosphere for all who enter. Features include six double occupancy bedrooms with private baths, a custom-designed bar where after the last hunt of the day guests are invited to mix their favorite cocktail from our fully stocked bar with top shelf liquors, game room with billiard table, exercise equipment, satellite TV, wifi, complimentary long distance calling and fax.
Our guest cabins are elegant, spacious and offer the same comfort as our lodge, but with the added benefit of privacy. Each double-occupancy cabin has its own cozy fireplace, private bath, and even a front porch to sit, relax, and watch the sunset at the end of a perfect day.
The seasonal cuisine at Highland Hills Ranch is prepared by our onsite professional chef. The chef uses only the finest ingredients when designing and preparing the dishes from scratch. All meals are 3 courses with dinners paired with complimentary Northwest wines. From blueberry crème brulee French toast at breakfast to pheasant enchiladas at lunch or filet mignon with a sherry reduction sauce, the food is delectable and worth the trip alone.
Chris Batha or Dale Tate will cover both Churchill Instinctive and Stanbury Swing-Through Wingshooting Techniques. Each guest will have an opportunity to test their new skills on clay targets. The clay targets will be thrown from traps over 100 feet high to simulate the unique flight characteristics of the driven pheasant.
A drawing of pegs will assign the shooting stations. Chris or Dale will act as Shoot Captain and assist each hunter in the field with shooting. There will be three drives of 300+ pheasant per drive, for a total bag of 900+ pheasants per day. After the first drive, there will be the traditional break for a "Bull Shot" and scones during which the shot birds are collected. Following the second drive, there will be a break for lunch at the lodge followed by the third and final drive that afternoon. Scotch will be served in the field after shooting is completed for the day.
Given the challenging shooting during the driven pheasant hunt, it is possible that a team of guns will average one in three pheasants shot. This means some 400 pheasant may be scattered throughout the cover, offering fantastic shooting over some of the best pointing dogs in the North America. Chukar, valley quail, and Hungarian partridge will be found in abundance as well.
On our ranch there is an abundance of wild birds. We are located in the midst of unspoiled wingshooting country. Unlimited upland game bird shooting is possible due to the skillful way we manage our habitat. The four species of upland birds found at Highland Hills Ranch are pheasant, chukar, valley quail, and Hungarian partridge. If a guest shoots all four species during the same hunt, they have shot the "Highland Hills Ranch Grand Slam".
Shooters may see a mixed bag of birds: pheasants, valley quail, chukar, and Hungarian partridge along the creek bottoms and the flat cultivated fields planted in milo and corn. The ranch cuts lanes through the fields to confine birds in areas small enough for the dogs to work. Valley quail are often found in brushy swales and creek bottoms. Grassy highlands and rolling hills dominated by sagebrush, bunchgrasses, and rim rocks enclose the ranch and provide the cover and food for the chukar, one of the most popular game birds in the western states. Hungarian partridge are often found in the same general areas as chukar, but gravitate toward grassy hillsides and away from the rim rocks.
Our wingshooting season runs September through March each season.
Our mule deer season is set annually by the state of Oregon Fish and Wildlife. The season opening date is usually the first weekend in October.
September, October, and March offer the warmest temperatures, allowing hunters to use light clothing. November, December, and January provide cooler weather with hunters using more layered apparel. Being in the high desert region, it's usually cold in the morning, but temperatures rise rapidly as the sun comes out. Although Highland Hills Ranch gets little rain, it is always smart to pack lightweight rain gear for the occasional precipitation.
Our all-inclusive package includes shells for 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, (if given ample notice we will provide ammunition for other gauge guns), sporting clays on day of arrival, guides with their professionally trained hunting dogs, transfers to and from hunting fields, hunting license & permits, and packaging of upland harvest.
Yes, we cater to our hunter’s physical abilities and level of difficulty they wish to experience. Guests will find along our creek beds, the cultivated meadows, and at the tops of our hills the grounds are relatively flat and easy walking.
We provide transportation to the ranch from the Condon Airport which is approximately 20 minutes from the ranch. Rental cars may be rented at the Portland International Airport, Pendleton Airport, and The Dalles Airport. We can also assist with a driver service if our guest requests.
We do have a recommended gratuity that is based on the excursion booked. Gratuity guidelines are discussed with potential guests and provided in our supplemental informational sheet we provide at the time of booking.
While we do have a 2 hunter minimum for our traditional walk up hunts if a guest would like to come as a single hunter they are most welcome to by meeting the fee for 2 hunters. This will assure them a private room as well as one-on-one guiding. Our Driven Pheasant Shoots and Trophy Mule Deer hunts do not have a 2 hunter minimum.
Our guests are most welcome to bring their hunting dogs with them. We ask them to bring a portable kennel and food. We will house them in our climate-controlled attached ready room. We ask that dogs are not brought into the guest accommodations or shared areas out of respect for all our guests' comfort.
