Jeremy Allen
About Jeremy:
As a proud Georgia native, born and raised in Dodge County, my roots run deep in the outdoors. From an early age, I accompanied my father on hunting trips, and over the years I developed a lifelong passion for hunting, fishing, and trapping. These experiences instilled in me not only a love for the outdoors but also a strong desire to share that passion with others. I take great pride in helping hunters create lasting memories—whether it's guiding someone to their first harvest or witnessing a child take their first deer. My goal is to ensure every guest enjoys the same excitement, tradition, and success that shaped my own experiences. At ORL, I am committed to providing hunters with not only a successful trip but also an unforgettable adventure.
