HUNTING PRESERVE MANAGER / OPERATOR WANTED

Location: Middle Tennessee • 1 hour south of Nashville • 1.5 hours north of Huntsville
Property: 400+ acres • 2 miles of river frontage • Established 30‑year business

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 (October–March)
  • 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

  • Honest and ethical
  • 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
