First-Class Western Bird Hunting at Flying B Ranch

One of the original Western luxury lodges, Flying B Ranch offers first-class hunting and amenities to match. A mixed bag of pheasants, chukar, Hungarian partridge, valley quail, and ruffed and blue (dusky) grouse occupy 5,000 acres of well-managed habitat. The terrain is varied, with the canyon’s plush valley floor giving way to brushy sidehills and draws, areas of thick timber, rocky outcroppings and eventually grass-topped rims—all teeming with birds and offering unique challenges. Here's a breakdown of what to expect.
