Hunting Game Ranch

Hillside Game Ranch is the largest game ranch in New England, open 365 days a year. Our preserve offers hunters the opportunity to pursue a variety of game animals, including, buffalo, red stag, Russian wild boar, and fallow deer.

You won’t need a license to hunt on the game ranch, and children are welcome to hunt when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

"Good afternoon to everyone at Hillside Guide Service & Game Ranch. I would like to take this time to thank all of you who made our boar hunt this past weekend an enjoyable one. Your staff of guides and cooks did an outstanding job at making us feel right at home. Never in a million years did I imagine this trip was going to turn out like it did. My buddy Brad and I will most definitely return for hunts in the future. I have already enjoyed some of the fruits of the hunt. (The ribs were amazing!). Thanks again for a wonderful time.Good afternoon to everyone at Hillside Guide Service & Game Ranch.

"This was our first time here. We have tried other places but there is no comparison. The ranch is awesome. Lots of quality animals. The food and companionship was first class. My son who is 12 got his first deer and never will forget it. We haven't left yet and he wants to start saving his allowance to come back next year! Myself and my partner could not be happier. Like I said, we've tried other places but will only come back here, hopefully for bear hunting next year or the ranch with my son. Thanks so much for a memory with my son I will never forget, nor will he. See you soon. This was our first time here. We have tried other places but there is no comparison. The ranch is awesome.
