...to the Dash Ranch, a family owned, working cattle ranch in Northern California's Shasta County. With oak-studded foothills and brushy draws, it is also the perfect habitat for Blacktail Deer, Wild Pigs, and Rio Grande Turkeys.

The ranch is in a natural migration corridor for Blacktail Deer to their winter feeding grounds. Blue Oak acorns are their primary food source in the fall and the ranch is host to thousand of these trees. With 100% hunter success over the last 7 years, you are practically guaranteed the opportunity to harvest a mature Blacktail buck.

With a tremendous resident population of Rio Grande Turkeys, you can bet on seeing trophy gobblers. Turkeys weighing 20 lbs and sporting 10" beards are common. One great benefit of hunting the Dash Ranch is the homework is done for you: the birds are scouted before you arrive.

When deer season ends, don't put your gun away! We have a healthy pig population. Pigs are smart, tough, game animals that will test your nerves and shooting skills. Many hunters have left the ranch with a 300 lb boar sporting 2" tusks in tow.

Shasta County is also home to a growing herd of Rocky Mountain Elk. Whatever game you choose to hunt, be it deer, pig or turkey, it's always exciting to see these magnificent animals. In the early fall it's common to hear Elk bugling or see a proud, massive 6 x 6 bull with his harem.
