Central Montana, either sex, no public pressure
We hunt private ranch leases in the Little Belt Mountains near Martinsdale, Montana, where either sex is legal under the general elk tag. The leases hold strong resident elk herds that use the country for their mating and winter ground, and they see no public hunting pressure.
Rifle hunts run five full days. We take five hunters a week. Hunts are conducted on horseback, on foot, or by vehicle, matched to your ability and to what the elk are doing.
Archery hunts are also tailored to the individual hunter, terrain, and conditions.
