We’re more than just a hunting preserve.
Since 1992, Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve has been about more than just hunting.
It’s about carrying on traditions, sharing stories, and creating lifelong memories. Located in the rolling Appalachian foothills, our preserve features both fenced-in spaces and open land across 600 acres, making it the perfect spot to truly experience the outdoors.
We’ve thought of everything to make your trip easy and enjoyable. Arrival time is after 7 p.m. the evening before your hunt, unless other arrangements are made. If you don’t plan to stay in our lodge but would like meals, just let us know in advance so we can prepare for you.
Forgot something? No problem. A general store is just two miles away, though we recommend bringing your personal items, weather-appropriate clothing, and any hunting gear you need.
Get comfortable in our newly renovated Lodge
After a long day in the field, there’s nothing better than unwinding in a comfortable, welcoming space. That’s why we’ve invested in upgrading our lodge to provide an even better experience for our hunters. Our recent renovations include:
A new mudroom with lockers to store your gear
A refreshed dining area
Two separate, newly upgraded bathrooms
Sleeping accommodations for up to 14 people
Unlike other preserves that pack hunters into crowded rooms with strangers, we prioritize your comfort and privacy. Our lodge features two rooms with four beds each and one larger room with six beds. Whether you’re traveling with your spouse, your child, or friends, you can rest assured that you’ll never be sharing a room with anyone you don’t know. The only exception is during select promotions or special events where we sell up to 14 individual spots—you’ll always know about this in advance.
In addition to our spacious sleeping quarters, we offer a dining area, recreation room, hot showers, and central air conditioning. We also provide the comforts of home, including bedding, towels, and washcloths, so you can pack light and focus on the hunt.
We’ve invested over $30,000 into our lodge to make it the perfect retreat for hunters. Come see the upgrades for yourself!
The Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve Difference is in the Details
We’re proud to offer an authentic hunting experience that stands out from the rest. Unlike many places, we’re not a "put-and-take" operation. The animals you hunt here are born and raised on-site, and our preserve is carefully managed to make sure the wildlife thrives.
You’ll also benefit from the expertise of our team, who are here to guide you and keep you comfortable every step of the way.
When it comes to meals, you’re in for a treat. Our three daily home-cooked meals feature wild game like wild boar, bison, watusi, fallow deer, red deer, longhorn, or Scottish highlander will leave you fueled up for your next hunt.
Our team also includes a skilled taxidermist and access to a walk-in cooler, so your harvested animal is handled with care from start to finish. Transportation during the hunt is provided, and field dressing and skinning are included in the cost of your hunt.
If you choose, we can handle the aging, processing, and vacuum sealing for you. Just ask us about pricing for specific animals! This is only available for animals hunted on our preserve.
We don’t offer overnight processing, because we believe in doing things the right way. Wild game should be aged before it’s cut, packaged, and wrapped. That’s why we age animals for five days — it makes the meat more tender and flavorful.
If you’d rather handle the butchering closer to home, we’ll quarter and pack your meat on ice into coolers you provide at no extra charge. Ice is available or purchase on site.
We’re here to make your next hunting adventure unforgettable.
