Founded in 1988, Heart's Desire Hunting Club, Inc. owns and operates a private hunting club in rural Sugartree, Tennessee - three miles south of I-40 and midway between Memphis and Nashville (a two hour drive from Memphis and an hour and a half from Nashville). Click "News" for the latest news, edits, etc. 1. The three shares have been sold and the note paid off. 2. The final tally for the turkey season was 13, which tied last year. Click "Turkey Hunting". Let the fishing and predator hunting begin! And, the fall hunting seasons are now published. SUMMARY OF OWNERSHIP IN HEART'S DESIRE
The twenty-four shareholders each own an undivided interest in 3,250 acres (all contiguous), the 1,800 square foot lodge, farming equipment, work truck, an 8 acre fishing lake, the manager's house and all other assets. An additional 457 acres are leased. Governed by a shareholder-elected Board of Directors, the property and facilities are managed through the manager, Mike Wright. Mike has a BS and an MS in Agriculture from Murray State University and is retired from the UT Extension Service, having served Humphreys County in various capacities, the last 2 years being as the Director. Mike is assisted by Stephen Scott who resides on site. The overall purposes of this multiple-absentee-owner, on-site management concept are to optimize hunting, minimize farming and security problems, and, equally as important, to share expenses. Owners each own 1/24th, utilize 100%, and are not required to actively participate in the on-site activities and/or problems. In other words, ownership in HD offers an attractive alternative for all those currently dealing with the various problems of hunting on public or leased land, poacher control, property management, farming and costs associated with all the above. Many members use the club for hunting only. For others, the full use of the property year round for business or family meetings, hiking, four-wheeling, "camping out", etc., is a bonus to get the entire family and/or business associates involved. At present, membership is full. However, four members have expressed a willingness to sell their certificates and other assets individually owned to other hunting enthusiasts who share the same or similar objectives and who would be compatible with the other members. For additional information, follow this link to the Selling Shareholders. The shares may be owned either individually or corporately, subject to each member/user being approved by the Board of Directors. The purpose of this site is not only to inform existing members of current happenings, recent harvests, hunting schedules, etc., but also to expose others to this premiere hunting and recreational facility in hopes of generating replacement members and a waiting list of potential members. We have a couple of prospects on the list and are seeking more.
