Allen Brothers Outdoors

Allen Brothers Outdoors started in 2000 when brothers Ronald and Joe Allen came home from a Texas hunt and realized they could build something special on their family land in Bladen County. What began as a small quail operation has grown into one of North Carolina's most complete outdoor destinations—combining a full-service gun store, 12-room lodge, and 800+ acres of pristine hunting habitat.

Today they host everyone from local families to NFL players and national figures, and their operation includes three distinct hunting seasons, an on-site gunsmith, and a clubhouse that handles corporate retreats and family events.

English-style driven hunts where birds launch from a specially designed tower while hunters position themselves around the field. Allen Brothers runs 25-30 tower shoots per year, and guests consistently call these their favorite experience. Professional guides, bird cleaning, clubhouse access, and meals (with lodge stay) all included.

Traditional Southern-style bobwhite hunts through carefully managed habitat. Trained bird dogs flush coveys across the preserve. Half-day or full-day options available. Groups run 1-6 hunters with professional guides.

Fast-paced mourning dove hunts across managed fields during prime September and October flight times. Afternoon hunts designed for both experienced and newer shooters. Groups and corporate outings welcome.

Skeet, 5-stand, and sporting clays courses available year-round. Shotgun rentals on-site, ammunition stocked in their gun store.
