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.

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.

Here is an easy summer meal made with some of the local fish you all have been catching!
Grilled Fresh Fish with Herb Lemon Butter
Ingredients:
4 fresh fish fillets (such as trout, bass, or whitefish, depending on your catch)
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, one sliced and one juiced
Fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or basil), finely chopped
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
Lemon wedges, for serving
Prepare the Herb Lemon Butter:
🍋In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped herbs, and juice from one lemon. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Prep the Fish:
🔥Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange a few slices of lemon on each piece of foil (cut large enough to wrap the fish).
Grill the Fish:
✨Place the fish fillets on the foil with lemon slices, and transfer to the grill.
Cover and grill for about 7-10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork (the time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets).
Serve:
👉Transfer the grilled fish to plates and top each fillet with a generous dollop of the prepared herb lemon butter.
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.
This grilled fish recipe is perfect for a light, refreshing meal that celebrates the fresh flavors of Northern Michigan’s waters. Enjoy the taste of summer with this easy and satisfying dish, ideal for dining al fresco.

A little throwback to 2018 when we journeyed into North Central Alberta for an exciting Moose and Wolf hunting. Nothing short of spectacular 🤩
Arrived by helicopter then got into river boats and headed out into the wilderness.
Our dedicated guides @kylerknelsen, ensured a memorable and safe expedition for us. Thank you for such an amazing experience!
