TESTIMONIALS

“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.”

“Montana Whitetails really understands what it takes for bowhunters to be successful. What was amazing to me was the number of fully mature bucks that I saw, not to mention the shot opportunities! Take all that and add trout streams, mountain ranges, and tons of wildlife, its an awesome place to hunt.”
– Jason Fuller, Flushing, Michigan

“I hunted with Montana Whitetails in 2013... without a doubt the best week of whitetail hunting of my life!! I went there for a week in early November when the rut was just kicking in. I saw more mature bucks, in that week than I have in the past 10 years of hunting in my home state of Virginia. The place is truly incredible.. and I was lucky enough to fill my tag on a beautiful 10 pt. the 3rd morning after passing up some other 120+ class bucks. I'm hoping I can return this year and if not, definitely the next.”
– Matthew Neely, VA

“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.”
– Ron Parker, Spring Creek, Nevada

“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

“This was my second yearly hunt with Montana Whitetails. My first hunt in 2012 was a fantastic success. I harvested my first elk, a beautiful 6 x 6 and, a fantastic whitetail. The hunt was so great it caused me to book a deer and antelope hunt in 2013 that was also great. I harvested a beautiful whitetail and an antelope. The game was plentiful! I saw elk, eagles, turkeys, and moose along with whitetails and mule deer. I even did some fly fishing on the shields river near lodge. The lodge is extremely nice and the food is fantastic. Keith, Steve, and Rob are excellent Hosts, and guides seeing to everyone's needs. The chef provided excellent food all week. I am returning again this fall anticipating another great hunt!”
– Jude Burgess, VT

“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

“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.”
– Donovan Farley, WV

“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
