Welcome to the Royal Stag Preserve

Private Pheasant Hunting in Michigan

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.

In the rich landscapes of Northern Michigan, hunting is a vital tool for balance. πŸ‚ By responsibly managing deer populations, hunting ensures the health of both the deer and their habitat, preventing overpopulation that can lead to issues for local ecosystems and communities.

As stewards of the land, hunters play a key role in maintaining this delicate equilibrium, combining passion for the sport with a commitment to conservation.

What a ride! Just wrapped up an unforgettable bull shark and tarpon tournament in the stunning blue waters of Key West, Florida. 🦈🎣 From the thrill of the chase to the awe-inspiring beauty of these amazing creatures, every moment was a blast.

The crystal-clear waters offered up some top-tier angling. πŸŒ΄πŸ’™ Whether you’re reeling in a mighty tarpon or watching a bull shark glide beneath the waves, Key West truly delivers!

Grateful for the memories and the catch! Can't wait to do it all over again.
