Beaverhead National Forest Hunting Area At Willow Ranch Outfitters we hunt mainly in the Beaverhead and Gallatin National Forests, and more specifically, one of our favorite spots to hunt for big game is the Lee Metcalfe Wilderness area. The Beaverhead National Forest is part of a greater area commonly known as the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest which is the largest national forest in Montana, covering 3.32 million acres in
Southwest Montana near the Idaho border.
The Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest can be separated into
9 distinct areas and covers 8 counties. In 1908 President Roosevelt named the two forests and in 1996 the two merged and became one. Several mountain ranges are located within this area, and one in particular, the Madison Range located in Madison County is where the Lee Metcalf Wilderness area is located and one of the more popular areas to hunt for Montana elk and large game. This region of Montana is also known as the Greater Yellowstone wilderness area and much of the wildlife and scenery found in Yellowstone is also found here. Enjoy hunting just
20 miles from Yellowstone National Park in the beautiful Montana wilderness.
Hunting isn’t the only recreational activity you can enjoy in the Beaverhead National forest. Skiing, snowmobiling, cross-country trekking and camping are all popular things to do in the wilderness area, and hiking and mountain biking have long been a pastime of many locals as the roads and by-ways in this area are mostly rural and can be very primitive in parts.
At Willow Ranch Outfitters we’ll show you all the great hunting spots in Montana and serve as your guide to the beautiful mountains of Montana. With their gorgeous peaks as your backdrop, you’ll experience hunting in one of the most unforgettable places in the world.
