About Tara
In the Fall of 2026 a group of investors purchased Tara Wildlife from the Purvis Grange Foundation and began operations as Tara Wildlife, LLC. While the new investors have no current plans to continue the deer hunting operations, they intend to enhance the facilities and operate it as a destination conference center, wedding venue, and summer camps for children.
We have booked several corporate retreats and will be hosting summer camps for children. The investors remain committed to wildlife conservation, education, and preservation of the land and resources that encompass Tara Wildlife. If you are interested in further information regarding our lodging and conference center facilities please email tara@tarawildlife.com.
Tara is located in the Eagle Lake community about 30 minutes northwest of historic Vicksburg, Mississippi and 72 miles west of Jackson.
With 6 miles of Mississippi River frontage and 6,500 acres of oxbow lakes and bottomland hardwood forests, Tara is one the nation’s ultimate destinations for deer and turkey hunting.
The 5700-square-foot conference center is the perfect location for your corporate retreats, business meetings, team-building seminars, family reunions, or conservation workshops
