- Unforgettable guided hunting experience in the heart of Virginia -
Founded in 2024, War’s End Upland Preserve was created to provide an exceptional
upland hunting environment where hunters can build lasting bonds and create great memories.
Open to the public, our preserve combines prime bird habitat, laid-back hospitality, and beautiful Virginia scenery,
making it a unique destination for guided pheasant, quail, woodcock, grouse, and chukar hunting.
About us
We opened War’s End Upland Preserve in the fall of 2025, with the goal of providing a hospitable setting and excellent guided and self guided hunts. Some of our fondest memories with family come from standing in a field with a gundog on point and swapping tales after a hunt. We strive to offer a safe hunting experience where individuals and groups make lasting memories.
Located in Central Virginia, we live on the preserve with our three children and our beef cattle. We look forward to having you visit our beautiful property in historic Appomattox, VA.
