We have then hand picked a very select few of what we feel are “Quality Outfitters” in each state to endorse through our service. We have endorsed one specific Montana Big Game Hunting Outfitter. Below is a detailed listing on the outfitter of our choice for you to review and contact. Enjoy reading why we have decided to endorse the following Montana elk hunting outfitter.

Our Philosophy: We hunt hard and we hunt smart. Success is often times the result of hard work and dedication. We are committed to having happy hunters. If we do not succeed in taking the desired animal for our clients, we can be comfortable knowing that we gave it 100%. Our overall satisfaction rates with our clients are near 100%. |

FEATURED HUNTS:
|
Archery Elk / Deer Combo Hunts
We operate our hunts in three separate locations; the Cascade Ranch, the West Butte Ranch and the Lewis & Clark National Forest (near East Glacier Park). Our archery elk/deer combo hunts are World Class. We offer opportunity at trophy caliber bulls as well as exceptional deer on both ranches. Last season we took 7 archery bucks and I believe all will qualify for the Pope & Young record book. Shot opportunities on elk are normally are around 80 percent. Our largest bull measured in at 370 inches (P & Y). Some hunters have had bulls within bow range every day. Although the West Butte Ranch is showing us larger herd bulls in recent years, the Cascade Ranch still has the biggest bulls. However, the deer/elk archery combo hunt at the West Butte Ranch remains our most popular hunt.

|
A Typical Day:
This varies on different hunts and the location of the hunt. But typical of most hunts is this: Up well before light. A hearty breakfast is typical. Most hunt situations require an early hike to a vantage point. We glass for hours a day sometimes. Some days we carry a lunch and hunt all day. Other times we go back to camp and eat a lunch. | |
|
ALSO OFFERING: Whitetail & Mule Deer Hunts
We offer hunt packages for both mule deer and whitetails. The West Butte Ranch is a large mountain property bordering Alberta, Canada. The country is steep, rugged, and roadless, making it ideal for elk and deer, but tough physically. This property is known for its big mule deer bucks and huge whitetails. We also hunt elk and antelope here. The terrain on this ranch is ideal for bow hunting, whether its spot-and-stalk mule deer, or tree stand whitetail deer hunting. | |
|
|
| We stay in cabins that are very comfortable and we also have a main lodge where we have our meals. We put an emphasis on great food. |
