Montana Elk and Mule Deer Hunt 10238

Our rifle hunts run Sunday to Saturday. During the five week hunting season, each of the hunts offers its own challenges and is unique. In the early season, the Elk are usually in small groups and spend time in the timber. Large Mule Deer bucks can be found along the higher ridges. Mid-season the weather gets colder and the elk are forced into the meadows. Mule Deer begin to enter the rut. Late season, the Elk begin to form into larger herds some as large as 40 to 50 head of Elk. Mule Deer are now fully in rut and on the move. A two-hour horseback ride will reach either of our two tent camp locations. The area is closed to motorized traffic so we use horses throughout the duration of the hunt. Stepping back in time for a week, hunting one of the largest and most vibrant herds of elk in Montana will be an experience you won’t soon forget. If you love to hunt, you won’t be disappointed! Since the Little Belt Mountain Range is located toward the eastern side of the Rocky Mountain Front, we are somewhat isolated from other portions of Montana which are heavy timbered and more rugged. This terrain is much more suited for raising livestock, which is why Central Montana is called the heart of cattle country. Because of this and other factors, we have not had the influence of wolves on the elk population as in other areas. The elk population has thrived so well in our area that the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department has added one hundred and fifty Cow “B” Licenses per year in addition to the general Bull License in order to better manage the elk numbers. These additional licenses give our hunters the ability to hunt for more game with us.
