Property Description: 

Welcome to the Big Sheep Ranch located in the very desirable area of Wallowa County. This property offers a blend of rugged and scenic beauty and is likely one of the best hunting properties on the market. This property won’t last on the market long. 

The Big Sheep Ranch consists of 1,375+- acres with a blend of bunchgrass prairie, timbered draws, rugged game-rich canyons, multiple springs, ponds and creeks. The property has access from mostly unimproved roads known as Deadhorse Ridge Rd and Armin Rd (also known as Coyote Creek Rd). The top portion of the ranch offers prime livestock grazing with abundant water resources and the bottom portion, known as Johny Canyon, offers a great route for navigating the canyon portion of the property. The elevation ranges from approximately 5,240 feet t the highest point to approximately 3,600 at the bottom of the ranch. 

The Big Sheep Ranch lies within the Imnaha Hunting Unit #61 which is known for exceptional hunting for rocky mountain elk and mule deer. The property qualifies for up to three landowner preference (LOP) tags (buyer to confirm with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife). The Big Sheep Ranch owns a portion of a narrow ridge known as the Cat’s Back which is considered locally to be among the best chukar hunting in the area. Hungarian partridges, rough grouse, blue grouse, and rocky mountain quail are also abundant on the property.  

The town of Joseph, OR is only 16 miles (roughly 24 minutes) from the Northern portion of the property. Joseph is a highly desired town for both living and vacationing thanks to its beauty and abundance of entertainment events. Wallowa Lake is just beyond Joseph offering even more activities for the entire family.
