Central Montana Private Land Elk Archery Hunt

This HFA Endorsed outfitter has some great private land leases nestled in the heart of elk country. They have two well managed elk ranches that total over 30,000 acres of beautiful elk habitat. Their goal is to limit the number of hunters they take which decreases pressure and increases success. Hunt tactics include a mixture of ground blinds, calling, and spot and stalk hunting. While it is possible to access the property by vehicle, they try to minimize disturbance by utilizing horses and hiking when possible. Trophy potential varies depending on a number of factors including time of year, temperature, weather patterns etc. but most hunters have a chance at 5x5 and 6x6 bulls.

Archery hunts take place in the month of September and the first week of October. The hunting on this ranch is truly spectacular, hunters can expect to see and hear bugling bulls every day of their hunt. They limit the ranch to two hunters per week to minimize pressure and maximize success. This area is made up of moderate terrain as far as elk country is concerned. This means that you don’t have to climb thousands of feet every day to reach the elk. However, it is still elk country and the ranch is over 6000’ in elevation. It is for this reason that all hunters are asked to show up in good physical condition. You will have more fun and your odds of success only increase by being in good shape.

Hunt includes food, lodging and travel to and from the hunt area. Guests stay in a renovated, fully furnished four bedroom house near the hunting locations. You will be provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition to cooking at the house there are great local eating options as well.
