Mike Higgins and Melinda Branchini, the ranch's owners, have painstakingly restored the property to its natural state, with a focus on wildlife habitat.
Today's fully restored property specializes in upland game bird hunting, with acres of prime pasture, expertly planted for outstanding bird cover. Quail and pheasant can be made available for hunts. Our property's combination of clay target shooting and hunting make Long Straw Ranch an ideal place for a day in the field.
The Long Straw Ranch management team continues to improve the property from season to season, with the goal of providing the very best outdoor experience possible.
