ABOUT OUTFITTER:
This HFA-Endorsed Outfitter specializes in private land hunts across eastern Montana, working primarily near Miles City. Long-term access to well-managed leases is the backbone of the operation, and the guides are seasoned and know the ground they work. The country here supports healthy populations of elk, mule deer, whitetail, and antelope, so a hunter can pursue most of what Montana offers through one outfitter. Lodging is arranged as part of every hunt, either in local hotels or in ranch houses and cabins located within the hunting grounds, all with bathroom facilities. The combination of private access and guides who have worked these leases for years is what sets them apart.
HUNT DETAILS:
These hunts take place on more than eighty thousand acres of private land along the Tongue River in eastern Montana. The country sits at roughly four thousand feet and mixes agricultural fields with rolling breaks and rugged coulees. Native vegetation runs to sagebrush and juniper, with the occasional cactus thrown in, so hunters should watch where they put their hands and knees. Both archery and rifle hunters are accommodated, and the two hunt differently. Archery is primarily sitting a blind over water, which is the highest percentage way to get an animal inside bow range in open terrain, with the option to spot and stalk when conditions favor it. Rifle hunting is primarily spot and stalk, glassing the breaks and coulees to locate an animal before working out an approach. Guides know these leases well. The private access is the real advantage, since eighty thousand acres of unpressured ground gives them room to move.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Lodging depends on which part of the operation a hunter is booked into. Some hunts are based in local hotels, while others use ranch houses and cabins located inside the hunting grounds themselves, and all of them have bathroom facilities. The on-property options are the better of the two for anyone who wants to cut out the morning drive entirely. Hearty meals are provided daily, so nobody is shopping, cooking, or hunting down a restaurant after dark. A professional guide is with the hunter throughout, which covers both the expertise and the safety side of the trip. Everything outside the hunting itself is arranged in advance.
