Eastern Oregon is home to some of the best upland bird hunting in the country, with high bird numbers and abundant opportunities thanks to several years of above-average precipitation. We scout year-round to ensure your hunt is successful. Chukar hunting is especially strong, with record numbers and ideal habitat. Quail are often found in large coveys, especially near water sources. Pheasant numbers are rising, and we have reliable spots to find them. While Hungarian partridges are rare, we can point you to areas with past sightings. Sage-grouse populations are at a 20-year high. Waterfowl hunting, especially for ducks, can be solid depending on conditions. We primarily hunt public lands, and due to the remote location, pressure is minimal. If needed, we’ll provide backup spots so you always have a place to hunt.

about the hunting

VISIT THE ODFW SITE —

To hunt in Oregon, you’ll need a license plus the right validations or tags for each species. Annual licenses are $34.50 for residents, $172 for non-residents, and $10 for youth (12–17); a 3-day non-resident license is $32.50. Upland hunters (quail, chukar, grouse, pheasant, partridge) need an upland validation (residents) or game bird validation (non-residents). Sage-grouse also require a $2 permit (draw only). Waterfowl hunters need a license, federal duck stamp ($25), and a waterfowl or game bird validation. Turkey hunters need a license and a tag for each bird. Youth validations are $4, and kids under 12 don’t need licenses.

Bag limits include 10 quail, 8 chukar/partridge, 2 pheasant roosters, 3 grouse, 7 ducks, 4 geese, and 3 turkeys per season. Visit ODFW for full rules and updates.

HUNTING PACKAGES

In Juntura, you’ll stay at the Oasis Motel/Cafe, which provides both food and lodging. The rooms are a bit dated but well kept and functional. They are pet friendly and accustomed to hosting bird hunters. The cafe offers great food with a wide selection for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—and they’re known for generous portions of fries.

Cell service is available but can be spotty, especially in deep canyons where there may be no signal. Since there is no gas station in Juntura, plan ahead to top off your vehicle. The nearest stations are:

Harper, about 30 minutes east

Bucannon, about 35 minutes west

Note that these stations are not open 24 hours, so check their hours in advance.

Hunting locations are 10 to 45 minutes away and include:

Chukar
Quail
Sage-grouse
Ducks
Some pheasant pockets (usually not targeted)

Waterfowl hunting is very good, with options to:

Sit with decoys at first light
Jump shoot along rivers and creeks

Using a dog can be very helpful for retrieving downed birds and is especially useful for sage-grouse hunting. However, finding and hunting birds without a dog is still quite manageable.

Season details:

Sage-grouse season is short—9 days in early to mid-September—and does not overlap with other seasons.
Chukar and quail seasons run from October through January.
Duck hunting is steady throughout the season with peak success during migration.

Extremely cold weather can freeze much of the water, concentrating birds in small pockets along rivers, offering excellent hunting opportunities.

We monitor conditions closely to ensure you hunt where the birds are, whether it’s hot and dry or snow-covered and cold.

THREE LOCATIONS

We are currently finalizing details for food and lodging at this location. John Day offers all the services you’ll need for a comfortable stay.

Great hunting spots are generally located about 30 to 60 minutes away from town. The John Day Valley is known for some of the best turkey hunting in the state.

While turkeys are not native to Oregon, they have become well established in this area. Hunters can harvest up to three turkeys per season.

Turkey hunting seasons and tips:

Best hunting is typically early in the season, from April 15 to May 15.

The later season, May 16 to 31, can still offer good hunting, but turkeys tend to be less vocal and more spread out during this time.

2. john day, or

We are currently finalizing details for food and lodging at this location. Burns offers all the services you will need for a comfortable stay.

Hunting spots are typically 30 to 60 minutes away from town. If pheasant hunting is your goal, Burns is an excellent choice. We highly recommend bringing a dog if you have one—dogs can be a game changer for flushing birds hiding in brushy thickets.

Other game in the area includes:

Quail, which are abundant throughout the region
Ducks, with good opportunities, especially at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

Please note the Malheur Refuge has additional regulations beyond state rules, including the requirement to use only non-toxic shot on the property.

For those interested in ruffed grouse, there are locations north of Burns where you can find these birds as well.
