Rifle Hunting Montana
Your rifle hunt will be one of the most memorable and enjoyable hunts that you will ever experience. You will wake up warm and fresh every morning ready to see the day come to life. We will ride out on horseback well before the first light of day to get into the spot our elk are most likely to appear.
We will spend the early parts of the morning glassing and watching the mountainsides looking for what you have traveled thousands of miles to see. You will be in the heart of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness in the Gallatin National Forest, a place few people will ever see. Our camp is located in the path of the migrating elk herds from Yellowstone National Park. We typically have 2,500 to 5,600 head of elk move through our region during the migration.
Our hunts consist of you and your guide glassing and stalking your elk on over 250,000 +/- acres of pristine wilderness. Many times the elk will appear out of nowhere and give you a nice shot at a little under
200 yards. You will spend each day doing what you have dreamt about for months - looking for that one bull. We will move in and out of drainages looking for signs and glassing the hills, meadows, mountains and timber lines that will give up your elk.
In the evenings you will come into a warm camp with the lights on. You don’t have to do anything but put up your rifle, take off your clothes for the day and enjoy a masterful supper prepared by the camp chef, and exchange stories with your new friends.
Considerations:
2008 rifle hunts will run the first and second weeks of Montana’s general rifle season: October 26th-31st and November 2nd-7th. Dress for warmth!
We supply the food, camp, horses and guide. Please refer to our “What to Bring” page for a list of items you are responsible for, and if you have any questions about items you might like to bring, please give us a call.
We would like to see a rifle that is zeroed in at at least
200 yards, or 3 inches high at 100 yards.
We recommend at least 1 box if not 2 boxes of shells.
Be competent with your gun. We suggest shooting as much as you can before you come out to hunt with us. Shoot at different distances and know where your bullet drop is at these ranges.
Calibers: 7mm, .280, .300, .338, and so on. We like to see guns that can reach out, but still have the knock down power.
Our guides are skilled and knowledgeable hunters who are very familiar with the area and provide quality hunts. All guides are first aid and CPR certified, as well as knowledgeable of hunting regulations.
You can contact us to learn more about our special packages for hunting Montana elk and other special permit big game such as mountain goat and moose.
