What is included in a guided exotic big game hunt in Tennessee?
By Quick answerOnly two things come with nearly every guided exotic big game hunt in Tennessee: a guide and a bed. Past that, meals, transportation, meat processing, and the license are a yes on some packages and a no on others — the gap a first-time buyer needs to check before treating a package page's list as a promise.

A headline price on two package pages can mean two different things
Most exotic hunts price per animal, not as a flat day rate — the listed number is what one animal costs, and the total is that price times however many animals the hunt includes. That's more honest than a flat rate hiding the day count, but it means two headline numbers aren't comparable until you check whether both quote one animal or a full group.
The pattern below is not a guarantee for the package you pick
Every figure here describes the whole set of Tennessee exotic hunts, not one outfitter's listing — an item appearing often across the group doesn't mean it's in the specific package you're quoting. Confirm in writing what's included before booking: lodging, meals, meat processing, the license, anything the group numbers can't settle for one property. The ranking below sorts out who backs that up.

great place !!…
The best lodge and overall accommodations anywhere! This was the third trip I've taken and took my oldest son (12) for his first hunting experience. He dropped a beautiful Fallow Buck and we'll remember this for the rest of our lives…

In 2017 I had the chance to hunt Fallow Deer a the Clarkrange Hunting Lodge. The host/Owners are wonderful people, they were kind and a joy to work with. They answer all my questions via email and over the phone before I arrived…
