Who Offers the Cheapest Exotic Big-Game Hunt in Tennessee?
By Quick answerThe cheapest exotic big-game hunt in Tennessee is $900 a head at Clarkrange Hunting Lodge — a bundled ram hunt covering Barbarossa, Corsican, Texas Dall and Black Hawaiian, matched dollar for dollar by Clarkrange's own Jacob four-horn goat hunt. Seventy-five other packages run from there to $8,000.

Pricing reflects live GuidedHunts outfitter listings, last updated August 2026. Always confirm current pricing and availability directly with the outfitter before booking.
What the $900 does and doesn't buy
It's a per-animal price, not a day rate, and it promises nothing about lodging or meals unless the listing says so. The next rung up is Wilderness Hunting Lodge in Monterey, running three separate ram hunts at $1,145 each — Merino, Corsican, and a Spanish-and-Angora combination — with Bridgecreek Farms LLC's three-breed ram hunt just above at $1,150.
What the rest of the market costs
Twenty of the 77 packages post a number on the same scale. The middle is $4,995, a quarter come in under $1,995, and two clear $7,095 before the $8,000 ceiling. That ceiling is a per-animal trophy price on a pricier species, which is a different kind of number from a bundled ram day — read the unit before you compare the two.
Which animals you can actually book
Exotic deer are the deepest bench: 28 packages across all seven outfitters, cheapest at $1,500 for fallow, sika, axis or red deer. Rams are close behind at 26 packages from six outfitters, cheapest at $900. Exotic buffalo also starts at $1,500 across four outfitters, and antelope at $3,000 across five. Watusi cattle and exotic goat are the thin end: four packages apiece, from $2,500 and $1,145.
Spartan Hunting Preserve in Grandview is the highest-rated at 5.0 across 1,944 reviews, though its exotic business is just three packages — a Fallow Doe hunt from $1,500 among them. Caryonah Hunting Lodge and Bridgecreek Farms LLC follow at 4.9, running 11 and 15 packages from $1,200 and $1,150.
No Tennessee license, and no season to work around
None of these animals carries a Tennessee hunting season or a state license requirement, which is why several of these outfitters advertise "no license required" on their own sites. It isn't a sales pitch. You book the dates the ranch has open.
What's included
Across the packages that say what they include, 94% bundle lodging, 90% a guide and 82% meals — close to universal at this end of the market. From there it drops: 58% include meat processing, about a third include taxidermy, an outfitter tag or a no-kill-no-pay policy, and fewer than one in four include use of facilities, dogs, a rifle range or cooler storage. If a listing doesn't say meat processing is included, ask before you book.

I took a sika deer hunt and its was a great hunt. Jeff and his crew treated me fantastic.
I recently bow hunted Scimitar Oryx with my guide Monty on Goodman Ranch. From my first interaction with Christine to the end of the hunt was nothing but exceptional. They have an outstanding group of people, quality animals and a beautiful ranch to hunt on…
