A Rare Opportunity to Run a Full-Service Hunting Preserve
A long‑standing upland bird hunting preserve in Middle Tennessee is seeking a full‑time Manager/Operator or Partner to take over day‑to‑day operations and continue a successful 30‑year legacy.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with experience in upland hunting, land management, or outdoor hospitality who wants to step into a turnkey, revenue‑ready operation with a loyal customer base.
About the Preserve
- 400+ acres of diverse habitat
- 2 miles of river frontage
- Established upland fields for quail and pheasant hunting
- Strong repeat customer base built over three decades
- Located in a high‑demand region with easy access to Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Huntsville, and North Alabama
Position Options
Option A — Full Manager/Operator (On‑Site Role)
- Manage all hunting operations
- Oversee farm and habitat maintenance
- Handle customer scheduling, field prep, bird management, and seasonal operations
- Maintain and grow customer relationships
- Ideal for someone who wants to run a preserve without the financial commitment of a lease
Option B — Partner / Lease‑to‑Operate
- Take over full operation as your own business
- Lease the land and facilities
- Control marketing, staffing, customer experience, and growth
- Perfect for an outfitter, guide service, or dog‑training professional looking to expand
Ideal Candidate
- Ethical and honest
- Experience in upland hunting, guiding, dog handling, or preserve operations
- Strong land and habitat management skills
- Customer‑focused and hospitality‑driven
- Reliable, organized, and capable of running a full seasonal operation
- Entrepreneurial mindset with long‑term vision
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Turnkey preserve with decades of goodwill
- Large, loyal customer base
- Prime Middle Tennessee location
- Rare chance to operate a preserve without buying land
- Immediate revenue potential
- Supportive owner seeking the right long‑term operator
How to Apply
Please send:
- Your name, background, and contact info
- Relevant experience (upland, outfitting, land management, dog training, etc.)
- Whether you’re interested in Manager/Operator or Partner/Lease‑to‑Operate
