Our Story
Two brothers, one dream, and over two decades of Southern hospitality
From Texas to Bladenboro
It all began years ago when two brothers traveled to Texas for a hunt. Ronald and Joe Allen experienced something special on that trip—and on the drive home, they had a realization: "We can do this at home!"
In 2000, the Allen Brothers opened their hunting preserve on family land in Bladenboro, North Carolina. They started small, focusing on traditional quail hunting. Word spread quickly about their hospitality, their pristine hunting grounds, and Joe's incredible home cooking.
What began as a modest quail hunting operation has grown into one of North Carolina's premier outdoor destinations—a place where hunters, families, and corporate groups come to experience the best of Southern outdoor traditions.
