For those who enjoy it, hunting is a recreation, a passion or even a lifestyle. But for the owners of gamebird hunting preserves, it’s, first and foremost, a business. Like many complex business models, there are many moving parts to ensure profitability each year.
Across the country, many hunting businesses have ongoing cash flow and often don't even realize that they're not truly profitable or are too close to the margin to justify all the blood, sweat and tears that go into running your business.
The Third Annual NAGA Hunting Club Conference will showcase a panel of seasoned hunt club operators, each representing a unique model and scale. They will delve into the intricacies of pricing hunts and other amenities to ensure a healthy bottom line. The three speakers are Chad Hughes of Pine City, Minnesota's Wings North; Philip Dietrich of the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation in Dundee, Illinois and Carey Story of Chamberlain, South Dakota’s Thunderstik Lodge.
“We’re so excited to have these three with us to share how they’ve each designed a business model that pays all the bills, takes care of their employees and manages to pay themselves, which is, after all the key goal of any business,” noted Mike Martz, President of the NAGA and owner of Martz’s Gap View Hunting Preserve in Pennsylvania.
The Pricing Panel is just one of the 16 diverse and high-quality presentations that attendees will have the opportunity to experience in Sioux Falls, July 15-17, at the Best Western Ramkota. From pro shop management to biosecurity, the conference covers a wide range of topics crucial to the success of your hunting club business.
