TESTIMONIALS

“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

“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.”
– DelMastro, Oxford, CT

“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

“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

“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

“This was my first time out to Montana and I had an outstanding time. The first day out I got a nice mule deer. During the course of week I was there I could not believe the trophy whitetails I saw every day. On Thursday I got a really nice 6 by 6 Elk. Keith and Bill know the area really well and know how the game moves on the property. I saw antelope, moose, whitetail and mule deer continually while I was there. I would highly recommend Montana Whitetails to anyone. I plan on going back to bowhunt in the near future.”
– Burt Reed, NY

“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

“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

“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.”
– Dan Hodder, MI

“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.”
