HEPPNER â The agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation couldnât tell John Flynn too much, only that they were there because of âpeople that were at the Capitol,â he said.
Early on Tuesday, March 23, agents had been snooping around the headquarters of Ruggs Ranch, a 100,000-acre hunting preserve outside of Heppner in Morrow County thatâs described on its website as âWhere World Class Bird Hunting & Luxurious Lodging Meet.â The agents told Flynn they were waiting for a friend who was out hunting. Flynn, the ranch owner, didnât recognize the name they provided.
He asked them to leave.
