TESTIMONIALS

“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.”

“Big Sky, Huge prairies, and gorgeous rivers, not to mention lot's of deer. What a great place to Bow hunt Big Whitetail Deer. Montana Whitetail's has it all, great accommodations, as well as stand locations, it is every Whitetail deer hunters dream. I'll be back.”

“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.”

“Montana Whitetails is the only place I’ve ever gone and hunted and had a desire to return to every year. These guys are great to be around, they are outstanding guides, and their sense of humor is unmatched by any other outfitter I’ve seen. I can honestly say that Keith and Rob are probably the best 2 hunters I’ve run across. When you hunt at Montana whitetails, you’re guide is not just a guide that is simply there to shuffle hunters in and out and turn a profit. These guys are every bit as serious, ethical, and dedicated hunters as you are. They are also every bit as determined to give you opportunities at game as you are to get those opportunities.

I still had a few days left after harvesting my Antelope buck, so I asked about calling coyotes. I can’t say as though I’ve ever been covered up in bugling elk when I was out calling coyotes before….it was awesome…there were 40 of them out there and at least 6 were bulls. It was the first time I’d ever seen elk in the wild, and was more than happy to let the coyotes live as a trade off for watching all these elk. It was truly an amazing sight!

After spending a little time trout fishing, and helping some guys recover game, I learned that I could purchase a whitetail doe tag over the counter. I killed my doe pretty early in the evening, and then just hung my bow up and watched. I am used to deer hunting in Indiana and assumed that doe was likely all that would pass by…maybe one or two more at the most. I was wrong. I had 17 different does walk under my stand that evening, and saw every bit of 100 deer in the field behind me. In fact, I saw more whitetail deer that week than I’ve ever seen in my life….they are everywhere out there.

They do an outstanding job of getting everyone several opportunities at game, they make you feel right at home, and they put forth more effort than I’ve ever seen when it comes to making sure people are where they need to be. This was definitely a hunt that I’ll remember fondly for the rest of my life, and honestly, even if I were to come home empty handed it would still have been the best hunting experiences (possibly overall experiences) of my life.”
– Aaron Kitzman - Indiana

“Once, Twice definitely not enough times yet to experience everything Keith has to offer a hunter. Accommodations are very comfortable and relaxing-(maybe to relaxing). When it is finally time to get out hunting you can't beat your chances for success and the quality of game is superb! The atmosphere is family friendly, for sure a great place to get a younger un-experienced kid hooked on hunting for life. They will be in awe at the number of animals they see. Stalking Mule Deer & Antelope with a rifle is a perfect way to really check out how beautiful Montana really is!!!”
– Mark Kwasnewski -Blasdell NY

“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

“Can't say enough good things about hunting with this outfitter and the quality of their hunt. Have been there three years in a row and going again this 2014 season. Incredible Rocky Mountain Montana river bottom setting where you see an incredible amount of animals at an incredible camp with outfitter/guides that really do everything they can to make your hunt and overall experience outstanding as well as successful from the standpoint of getting you a shot opportunity. They put their time in. You can easily see 50-60 different bucks in a weeks hunt and sometimes more. Saw moose, elk, pronghorns, mule deer, black bear, grouse, pheasants, eagles, and shot a coyote one year. You never know what'll walk by when you're on stand. Not to mention the great trout fishing out the back door of the lodge. Have been to other outfitters but nothing came close to this well appointed, low key, gentlemen s, hunt/vacation - and they're gracious and appreciative that you're there to boot.”
– John Olin, NJ

“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!”
– Ross Lobell, MI

“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

“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
