You will be hunting on approximately 3400 acres, a working cattle and wildlife ranch located 12 miles west of Orland, California. It lies north-west of Black Butte Lake in the foothills of Glenn and Tehama Counties. The elevation ranges from 500 to 800 feet with open oaks mixed with native brushes.

We are managing for Black Tail bucks and wild pig hunting. This has been accomplished by taking only a very limited percentage of the game.

Quality is our guideline. All hunts are guided with no more than two or three hunters on the ranch at one time. The ranch is jeep accessible for enjoyment and fun hunting. Most bucks and pigs can be spotted from the jeep. Generally you will see a lot of game and hopefully have a successful hunt. But as you know hunting varies from day to day. Sorry, no guarantees.

If you desire to camp, Buckhorn Campground at Black Butte Lake has nice campgrounds within one-half mile of the entrance to the ranch. For reservations call toll free 1-877-444-6777. Orland also has three motels: Orland Inn (530)865-7632, Orlanda Inn (530)865-4162, and Amber Light Inn (530)865-7655.

Our service includes a guided jeep hunt on the ranch with every possible effort taken to try to get you a chance to encounter exceptional game. After the game is taken, we will field dress, measure and weigh it. A cold storage locker will be lined up to cool the game at the hunter's expense if you so desire.

Current California hunting license, a California "B" zone buck tag, pig tag, bobcat tag, dove stamp, duck stamps, or whichever is necessary for your hunt. Also, please be sure to bring a shotgun, rifle or bow, a sack lunch and hunting attire. Leather boots and long pants are required for your own protection. Make sure you have clothing for hot or cold weather as conditions may vary.

All hunts will be from sunrise to sunset unless they open later or close earlier according to California Department of Fish and Game Regulations. The hunt will be concluded when one buck or pig or bobcat is taken or a limit of dove or duck is taken depending on the type of hunt you are paying for.

About the guide fees: When reservations are made by phone, the signed Release of Liability and one-half the face value of the hunt will be expected within one week to lock in that hunting date. This may be in the form of a check, and will not be refundable. Confirmation of payment received and the hunting date will be mailed promptly back to you along with directions and a map on where to meet the jeep. Just prior to entering the ranch the other one-half of the guide fee will be due in the form of a cashiers check or cash. Please have either cash or check available if you connect with a boar for trophy fees or additional hunting.
