TESTIMONIALS

“I have been privileged to bowhunt numerous mid-Western and Western states and as far as consistent action and numbers of bucks seen while in the treestand I have never been to a better spot. The different types of wildlife you may see on any watch makes the time fly when hunting with Keith. The best thing about Montana Whitetails is that Keith and Bob are bowhunters and understand the quarry and the strategy to harvest big bucks. This place has it all, comfortable camp, good guiding, good food and Shield River trout fishing, it's just a great week. Any further questions call Dan Alleman.”
– Dan Alleman D.D.S., Camphill, PA

“My 2005 hunt with Montana Whitetails ranks near the top of my “Best Hunts” list. Good people, good food, fantastic scenery and, most importantly, lots of big whitetail bucks. I saw more Pope and Young-class bucks in one week than most people will see in a lifetime. In November 2006 I’ll be back with my cameraman to tape another episode of Bowhunter Magazine TV.”
– Brian Fortenbaugh, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

“3rd hunt in 2009 with Keith and Bill, and headed back for the next two years (at least). Amazing place! If you want to see lots of deer, this is the place for you. Easy hunting conditions for old guys like me. Level walking to most stands. Betty cooks some great evening meals. Breakfast and lunch are basic fare. Expect to see dozens of bucks within bow range, and incredible scenery. I have personally seen over two dozen bucks on one evening watch! Our October pre-rut have ranged from short sleeve temps to snow and teens. Can't imagine a better place to bowhunt whitetails. Two of my sons have shot their "best ever" bucks with Keith.”
– Bob Fritz, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

“When he was at 10 yards I stopped him and made the shot. The 10pt. made a small circle and dropped within sight, just on the other side of the river. The buck scored 124 3/8". I'd like to thank Keith and Bill for the work they put into these hunts. There were times when they went out in the middle of the night to put up new stands for hunters to give them the best chance for success. Thanks again guys, I had a great time!”
– Chris Herb, Elizabethville, Pennsylvania

“If you are looking for a Western river bottom hunt, Montana Whitetails Inc. is the place and Keith Miller, owner operator is the guy. Located on the Shields River near Wilsall Montana. My seven day bow hunt was easily the best hunting week of my 30 year hunting career. I literally saw hundreds of whitetail deer and had many good shot opportunities at quality bucks. I also saw, Elk, Moose, Black Bears, Mule deer & Antelope. Keith’s knowledge of the deer and other game movement in his area is meticulous, his pursuit to put you in the right spot for success is non-stop. Keith has over 170 tree stands covering 8 miles of river bottom!

The accommodations are very comfortable and has everything you need, along with excellent and plentiful home cooked meals. If you have any questions, Please feel free to contact me.”
– Mark Gottschalk

“I have been hunting with Montana Whitetails since 2003 and I can tell you that I keep going back for one very simple reason. The river bottoms around Keith Miller’s leases are as game rich an area as I could ever hope to find. I have been fortunate enough to hunt with outfitters and DIY in states like New York, Pennsylvania, Montana, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin and Nebraska and I have never been exposed to the non stop action that I see in Wilsall, Montana. For 12 months a year Keith Miller scours these river bottoms looking for sign, travel patters or anything else he can find to help put clients on deer. This hard works pays off and can be seen on the picture page of his website. Camp life is fantastic, to say the very least. The house is comfortable and there is even satellite TV (you have to be able to watch the outdoor channel). And the food? Plan on putting on weight during your stay. If you are thinking of spending some time chasing other critters . . . . don’t overlook this place. The Shields River Basin is home to Mule Deer, Elk, Moose, Antelope, Black Bear and any number of small game. Keith Miller runs one of the finest operations that I have ever hunted with and I would offer my recommendation without hesitation. If you would like more information please feel free to drop me an e-mail.”

“Hi Keith, I just thought I would drop you a line to let you know what a great couple of hunts I had with you and Rob in 2011 and again in 2012. First of all I would also like to thank my good friend Mark Gottschaulk for doing all the research on literally a dozens or more outfitters and ultimately choosing Montana Whitetails for our hunt of a lifetime. Great Job Mark! Mark made his decision based on several conversations he had with you on the phone. He felt your style of hunting, personality and the Shields River would be a good matchup for a couple of Michigan bow hunters. He was right.

In 2011 we hunted with a great group of guys including Michigan Archery Hunting Legend Bob Eastman. The accommodations and meals exceeded our expectations. I was equally impressed with how you had set up all the tree stands and had predicted the deer movement and presented us all with several good practical opportunities on quality animals. On my third opportunity I was finally able to calm down enough to harvest a nice velvet 8 point. This was the buck we had to shoe the giant black bear away from in order to recover this nice buck. Your patients and words of encouragement where very commendable on this hunt. Then you were able to provide me with my first Elk hunting experience. I didn’t score on the elk but I did have a great encounter and pledged to return to get the job done. My good friend Mark scored a nice Shields River buck the last morning of our hunt. We drove back to Michigan planning our return trip all the way home.

In 2012 I returned with my younger brother Randy and again you and your staff provided yet another great hunt of a lifetime. Another great group of hunters including Jeff Millar from Bow hunter Magazine and TV. And a couple of Deer Thugs. Keith I believe and like the fact that you and Rob work hard for all your guest and don’t give any special treatment or opportunities to only a chosen few. Both years I noticed you and Rob worked hard for all you guest regardless of who they were, where they came from or how much experience they had. Special treatment and opportunity for all! “Thank you” Again you showed great patients. I was finally able to harvest another nice shields river buck and five minutes later a nice doe. My brother Randy and I had several close encounters with Elk throughout the week but were not able to capitalize on the opportunities you and Rob presented us. I hope to return again someday and harvest my first Elk with Montana Whitetails. Keith I must say you have some of the most sacred land I have ever had the privilege of hunting on. Keith Thanks again for two great hunts. God willing I will return someday soon. Feel free to use me as a reference any time.”

“I was born, raised and hunted in Montana. However, my brother, father and I had never hunted together due to lifes circumstances and the age difference of my brother and I. Our father had pretty much hung up his rifle when we searched and found MT Whitetails who were willing to work work with us to provide a final hunt for the three of us. They did a great job of getting all three of us into deer and ultimately we all three took very nice whitetails. My dad was as happy as can be and I can not thank Steve and Rob enough for the experience they helped make happen.”
– David Whitcomb, MT

“I have been hunting in the Midwest for trophy whitetail for many years. I saw more "shooter" bucks in 3 days at Montana whitetails than I did in 2 weeks in the mid west. Montana Whitetails is a place for every serious deer hunter to consider. I enjoyed the hunt so much I'll be back every year.”
– Adam Flod, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

“What can I say that really state how much I love this place, well maybe 7 years in a row going there having a phenomenal time. Great hunt, never a minute on stand where you don't have that feeling that it might happen right there right now, you all know what I mean. I killed 5 deer there between 120"-135". I have seen few 150", I will go back again. Treat yourself and book a hunt, you will not regret it.”
– Gibo Debiase, FL
