Known for its picturesque landscape, with thousand-foot sheer cliffs and volcanic tuff formations, Oregon’s Owyhee canyon country is home to native redband rainbow trout, chukar, mule deer, elk, large unbroken prairie for the greater sage grouse and the largest free-roaming herd of California bighorn sheep.

Hunters and anglers value this wildlife rich landscape and are working locally with important stakeholders to discuss the best way to secure long-term conservation policies that protect its rugged character, solitude, and the hunting and angling opportunities that drive our family traditions. We believe that the Owyhee Plateau is a landscape that should be safeguarded for future generations of American sportsmen and women. Our organizations support the multiple uses of public land in this region and recognize that good stewardship means sustainable ranching, wildlife habitat management, public access and meaningful resource conservation.
