Royal Stag Preserve
Northern Michigan’s Most Exclusive Hunt Club
Welcome To The Royal Stag Preserve
Our shared passion for the natural beauty of Northern Michigan was the first ingredient in creating the Royal Stag brand. Our team is full of Michigan locals who grew up playing and hunting in this natural midwest wonderland. As an avid hunter and devoted father, Royal Stag Founder Will Saputo does everything possible to create a hunting environment that’s fun and safe for our guests. Here at Royal Stag Preserve, we believe in delivering only the finest to our hunt club guests. From arrival to the last shot, the Royal Stag journey will be unparalleled. With exclusive preserve access, our bird hunting experience featurs brand-new state-of-the-art equipment and clearly marked fields to ensure your safety. We handle bird placement, transportation to designated hunting areas, and a cleaning area after the hunt. Our mission is simple, to provide a safe and upscale pheasant hunting experience with modern amenities our guests love.

What an amazing hunt with Dennis and best friend it tow, Мах!
Max ran the field once, then Dennis wanted Cali and Jak to join. All 3 did so well!
Dennis commented that he didn’t know what to expect, but was completely impressed! 🤩
Thanks for joining us in the field and can’t wait to see you again!
