Game Hunting

Elk, Red Stag, Deer, Big Game, or Exotics...the Hunt Is On!

Whether you are an individual, part of a group, a family, or a corporate client, the Battenkill Preserve can offer a variety of custom-tailored and package hunts that are right for your budget and your taste for adventure. Even for non-hunters who still want to be part of the experience, our Preserve is set up to cater to all.

We are specialists in putting together just the hunt for you. Maybe your preference is for one particular, elusive trophy; or perhaps a hunting/fishing package is what you have in mind.

The Preserve is covered with a mix of lush forest and open fields, and a guide will lead you to and from your designated watch or stand. But because deer and many of the other animals on the Preserve are known to be elusive and unpredictable, with ever-changing habits, our guides will be flexible in the tactics they use to help you track down and bag your quarry.

We can even help you dress and score your trophy. We may not be able to guarantee you the biggest or the best that our Preserve has to offer. But we can promise to provide you with an environment that offers record-class opportunities, with a commitment to friendly, home-style customer service that is second to none.

Check out our Rates page to find a hunt choice that is right for you. We maintain large, healthy herds of whitetail deer, along with fallow deer, sika deer, and axis deer as well. Our big game animals include buffalo, red stag, and elk. (Our pure-white elk is a sight to behold!)

For exotics, you can expect to find Blackbuck Antelope, Black Hawaiian, Babirusa Ram, Mouflon, Corsican, Texas Dall Sheep, and Wild Boar on the property.

In short, for the discriminating hunter, the Battenkill Preserve is the place to be for year-round adventure!
