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
