Mule Deer
Mature bucks bed in the draws and feed the sage flats at dawn. Managed for age class and herd health, hunted in small parties on foot.

The land
and its pursuits.
The Country
Wheat hills, sage flats, rimrock canyons.
RoxCove sits in the heart of Oregon's Columbia Basin — a layered landscape of dryland wheat, native bunchgrass, juniper-dotted draws, and basalt rim.
The ranch supports its game on its own terms: working soils, kept waters, and quiet pressure across the seasons.

The Game
Quarry of the Basin
Elk
A resident bull elk herd works the rimrock benches and timber pockets at the upper end of the ranch through the rut.
Pheasant
Cover crops, weedy fence lines, and creek-bottom thickets hold strong wild rooster populations through the season.
Quail
California and valley quail covey up along the rocky draws — classic point-flush work for the upland dog.
The Tradition
Walked-up, slow, and on the dog.
Hunts at RoxCove are family hunts. Mornings start at the gun rack, days are spent on foot behind a good dog, and evenings return to the long table by the fire.
