How Much Does a Guided Pheasant Hunt Cost in Tennessee?

Why $60 and $8,250 aren't on the same ladder

The floor listing buys grounds access to walk released birds alone — no guide, no dog work, nothing else included. The ceiling listing buys the opposite: one buyout that seats an entire large group in a single tower shoot, not a per-hunter charge. Split that buyout across a full group and it lands mid-range, not off the chart. Read every number here as a price of something specific, not a stand-in for the whole hunt.

Does the license requirement even apply to you?

Most of what's priced here doesn't need a Tennessee hunting license at all — these are preserve-raised birds on private land, covered by the preserve's own commercial permit. That exemption breaks if the property also holds naturally occurring wild game, or sits on a state Wildlife Management Area; either one puts a hunter back under a standard license and stamps. Confirm which applies before assuming either way.

Why isn't the top-ranked outfitter the cheapest one?

Baggenstoss Farms leads the ranking below on a credibility-weighted score, not on price — the math rewards a real track record over a thin five-star average built on a handful of reviews. Reputation and price answer two separate questions here; don't expect the top card and the low card to be the same outfitter.
