R & C Ranch
The R&C Ranch is one of the most iconic and distinctive ranches in the entire John Day River Basin of Oregon. With over 5,430 deeded acres, direct access to an additional 7,517 Bureau of Land Management acres and the North Pole Ridge Wilderness Study area, this extensive holding includes multiple habitat types with miles of tributary streams and varying topographies that is ideal for multiple big game and upland bird species. The R&C Ranch is home to healthy populations of mule deer, as well as Rocky Mountain elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, and barbary sheep. The area is known for its heavy horned mule deer bucks.

The resident elk herd is estimated at 600 head that moves between multiple private ranches in the area. The elk hunting season is one of the longest in the state at five weeks and is entirely located in the Biggs Big Game Unit. While landowner preference (LOP) tags are available (five elk and five deer tags), because there is so little public ground in this unit, over-the-counter tags are also plentiful. Pronghorn antelope tags are also available in subunits of the Biggs Unit, however getting a tag outside of the LOP system can take many years. The ranch also contains 1.5 miles of John Day River deeded frontage and contains 4.4 miles of John Day River frontage between its upstream and downstream borders. It also includes ownership along the lower stretches of Butte Creek; this is a large tributary to the John Day River that is a known steelhead spawning stream.
