Montana Elk Hunting Trips
  


   

Montana elk hunting can be a very exciting and rewarding hunt. Our elk leases consist of private lands here in Park county region 3, elk hunting district 315 and 393. Approximately 50% of the elk harvest in the state of Montana comes from region 3. We can accommodate a very limited number of trophy elk hunters each year to provide a quality hunt.

We offer a combo hunt for elk which includes a mule deer or  whitetail deer hunt. This will allow you to harvest a trophy whitetail or trophy mule deer in addition to the elk.  This way, we can also offer you some the finest trophy whitetail deer hunting and trophy mule deer hunting available in the country during your trophy elk hunt. 

Our elk hunting is done on semi-rugged to moderately rolling terrain. Success often depends on the conditioning of the hunter. For elk hunters, we have access to private land in one of the best hunting regions in the state of Montana . Generally we can access most areas by 4 x 4 vehicle and then walk by foot to get into areas to glass for elk. We are there to assist you in the calling, harvesting, and removal of an elk or any other helpful suggestions you need in order to make your hunt more successful. Elk hunting can be challenging, frustrating, and exhilerating all at the same time. Elk can travel long distances and can be very unpredictable at times. We cannot guarantee anyone an elk, but will try to do everything we can in order to help you harvest your trophy bull elk, and encourage the harvest of cow elk to maintain a balanced, healthy elk herd. You have the option to use the spot and stalk method or calling, which is best in late September, or a combination of both--whatever you prefer. This can be an enjoyable time afield with a buddy while also having the chance to harvest a trophy whitetail or trophy mule deer here in Montana during your elk hunting adventure. 

The Rut: Where we are located in southwestern Montana at the foothills of the Crazy Mountains, peak breeding activity is observed around the 21st of September on our leases.  Some of the private ground that we have access rights to hold some great timber for bow hunters trying to call in raging bulls in September. Bugling bulls revealing their locations are easier for planning set-ups and calling for bow hunters at this time of year. The last two weeks in September are generally good for archery elk hunts during peak breeding activity.
