ABOUT OUTFITTER:
This HFA-endorsed outfitter specializes in guided hunts for elk, deer, mountain goats, and bear throughout Montana’s scenic Paradise Valley, offering hunters the opportunity to experience rugged mountain country, diverse wildlife habitat, and professionally guided backcountry adventures. Whether working with experienced hunters or those new to the sport, the outfitter focuses on providing knowledgeable guidance, quality service, and a safe, enjoyable experience in the field. With extensive familiarity of the area and a passion for the outdoors, guides work hard to create memorable hunts while showcasing the beauty and wildlife of this iconic Montana landscape.

HUNT DETAILS:
These hunts are horseback ride-in, ride-out adventures that provide access to remote backcountry areas with excellent elk habitat and very little hunting pressure. Seven-day archery hunts are typically based out of stove heated wall tent camps deep in the wilderness, while five-day archery hunts are generally lodge-based. Rifle and muzzleloader hunts may be conducted from either a lodge, cabin, or wall tent camp depending on elk movement and conditions during the season. While horses are used to cover country efficiently and access remote terrain, hunters should still be prepared to hike and handle moderately difficult conditions throughout the hunt. By taking clients deep into productive elk country with limited pressure, these hunts offer exciting opportunities and good action. Whether staying at the lodge, cabin, or wall tent camp, hunters can expect warm Montana hospitality, comfortable accommodations, and a memorable hunting experience in Big Sky Country.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Depending on the number of hunters and the style of hunt, accommodations may include a fully equipped lodge, their comfortable cabin, or a quality wall tent camp. Each option is set up to provide hunters with a warm, relaxing place to unwind after long days in the field. Breakfasts are typically kept light to help hunters get an early start each morning, while packed lunches are carried and eaten in the field throughout the day. Evenings end with hearty home-cooked dinners and a comfortable bed or cot to rest up for the next day’s hunt. Whether staying at the lodge, cabin, or wall tent camp, hunters can expect a comfortable stay, great meals, and great hospitality throughout the trip.

LICENSE INFORMATION:
Montana allocates elk and deer permits through a combination of random drawings and a preference point system. Non-residents must apply for one of the big game, elk, or deer combination licenses in the general draw in order to apply for special, limited entry deer and/or elk permits. Preference points are issued for the general combination drawings and bonus points will be issued for the special deer and elk drawings. The maximum number of bonus points someone can have going into the draw is 23. Huntin’ Fool’s License Application team will help you apply at the time of application.

In Montana, bonus points are used in a random lottery drawing for Moose, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat, and Antelope permits. Bonus points accumulate when you apply for a hunt and are unsuccessful. The maximum number of bonus points someone can have going into the draw is 10. Huntin’ Fool’s License Application team will help you apply at the time of application.

In Montana, bison permits are distributed through a random draw process and do not use a bonus points system. Huntin’ Fool’s Application team will help you apply at the time of application.
