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.”

“I had one of the best hunts of my life with Montana Whitetails. I highly recommend it to my friends and any one who will listen. Thanks for a very professional hunt! Sincerely.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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

“Just got back from a trip of a lifetime with the Miller brothers! Montana Whitetails is the place to go! I have been to numerous outfitters and this one by far was the most accommodating, most fun, and provided me with the trophy Montana elk and whitetail I dreamed of! I couldn't thank you enough for everything you did and you can be sure we will be out again!”
– Brian Hester, VA

“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”

“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 hunt at Montana Whitetails was a remarkable experience, I hunted the second week in September and it was a very good hunting experience. The deer movement was amazing! I was able to see 20 to 30 deer in a sit. The hunting was amazing because not only did I see whitetail deer, but I saw mule deer, antelope, moose, and sometimes even elk. There was never a dull moment in the hunts, I hunted hard for 6 days and Keith did everything he could to make my hunt a success. I was able to connect on a very nice 134 inch 9 point at only 20 yards. I saw many shooter bucks from ranges of 140" and some even 150" +. The lodge is very nice, its clean and has that homey feel, and not to mention the cooking is great! Your never hungry after dinner. Everybody in the lodge gets along and helps make your trip that much better. I would definitely recommend this to any hunter that is looking for a very good hunting trip with a good success rate and great times. I know I will definitely be back to do it again.”
– Vincenzo Quigliano, NY

“I was really skeptical on my trip to Montana Whitetails, we were going somewhere new and it was our first time elk hunting. From the time we where picked up at the airport we were put at ease. Our group was first time hunters to Montana. We have been deer and bear hunting in Saskatchewan, Canada for years. We hunted Montana in mid November and the elk were grouped up and hard to hunt. Steve and Rob worked so hard in those conditions to make sure my son and I had opportunities at elk. Steve ended up with frost bite in those conditions, he gave it his all during that week. I am from now on a loyal customer to these guys. One thing I can advise is you better be ready to walk and work. That's why it's called hunting, these guys will get you on the animals. Again, I can't stress enough the hunting is second to none, if you don't like being at Montana Whitetails I would recommend giving up hunting. Also, the support of local businesses after the harvest from taxidermy and meat processing is all good folks to work with and very accommodating.”
