TESTIMONIALS

“Hi Keith, Steve, and Rob,
I couldn’t leave for Japan without saying again what a great experience Manfred and I had last week. You entire staff at Montana Whitetails did an awesome job in every way, and I’m sure we’ll return soon. If you want to use me as a reference, please have any potential client call or email me. If you’d like something to add to your references. Email: pleper@savewayusa.com”

“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.”

“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.”

“I've been to Montana Whitetails 3 times so far and plan to hunt there again this year. The hospitality is great and Keith is a real professional when it comes to putting hunters in the right place to get a shot at a trophy whitetail buck. While you're on stand, there is usually quite a bit of activity going on so it never gets boring! Every time I've been out to hunt with Keith I've gotten at least one good shot at wall deer (one that I would be proud to hang on my wall!). The accommodations are clean and well kept and the food is a wonderful treat to come back to after being afield all day. For me, its just a wonderful experience and if I don't get a deer, well then, it is usually my fault not Montana Whitetails!”

“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.”

“The guys at Montana Whitetails did an excellent job at hosting us for our first hunt in Montana. Our target species was whitetail and there was no lack of quality game in those river bottoms. Rob/Steve/Keith did an excellent job at reading the weather and reports on game movement to ensure that each hunter was set up for success. Top that off with great trout fishing, beautiful scenery, excellent accommodations, great food, fun camaraderie, and you have the hunt of a lifetime!”
– Michael Brookhart, NY

“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

“I had a great time and was fortunate to hunt with five other hunters, who I met on this hunt. The guides worked very to make our hunt as enjoyable as possible. they put us in very good habitat which caused us to be in the area of a lot of game. The food was delicious and very well prepared.”
– Joe Baglio, CA

“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

“I saw a TON of deer every day, saw about 9 or 10 shooter bucks, probably 100 smaller bucks. Bill and Keith did Everything they could to put me on a shooter including moving stands where I asked them to. killed a beautiful 10 pointer on the last half hour of the last night to finish off an awesome hunt. I highly recommend these guys for an awesome Montana adventure!”
– Joseph Layton, NJ
