Hunting Preserves
Bird hunting preserves are becoming more popular as most of the natural habitat that provides shelter for upland bird populations is being taken over by farming and urban expansion. This has caused a drastic decrease in the wild bird populations, forcing hunters to either give up bird hunting or hunt on a preserve. Hunting preserves provide a hunting opportunity that is very similar to chasing wild birds.

Each individual state licenses commercial hunting preserves, which normally have extended seasons allowing hunters to be in the field outside of the normal hunting season. Many hunting preserves strive to provide an enjoyable hunting experience by focusing on the hunt itself, but also on offering additional services and amenities. Additional opportunities may include a furnished clubhouse, pro shop, sporting clays, ground outings and more.

Although, hunting preserves are looked down upon by many hunters, they are starting to become more popular. As the number of hunters and hunting opportunities continue to decline, preserves are a way to ensure that there will be hunting opportunities around in the future.
