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 mountain goat hunts take place in the steep mountains of Montana, offering hunters a physically demanding but rewarding wilderness experience in Units 313, 314, and 323. Hunts are conducted on horseback and on foot through remote alpine terrain known for quality goat habitat and breathtaking scenery. Depending on where goats are located during preseason scouting and current conditions, guides will determine which unit offers the best opportunity for the hunt. Unit 323 hunts are lodge-based, Unit 314 hunts are based from their cabin, and Unit 313 hunts operate from a traditional wall tent camp. Hunters should be prepared for challenging terrain, long days glassing high country basins and cliffs, and physically demanding stalks. With experienced guides, strong knowledge of the area, and access to the remote wilderness, these hunts produce large goats each year with high success rates for clients.
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.
