This ranch has been managed for over 15 years, maintaining exceptional hunting opportunities with an average annual success rate of 85% to 95% on 5-point or better bulls. To preserve the quality of game for future generations, we strive to limit harvest on bull elk to be at least 5×5 or better. Surrounded by large private ranches, the property has fostered trophy-quality elk herds. Spanning nearly 5500 acres of rugged canyons and dense timber and over 400 acres of irrigated alfalfa fields. The habitat and the terrain provide ample hiding spots that big bulls skillfully use to their advantage. This property holds a large population of resident elk, plus large number of elk arriving during the exciting rut season. Hunting success depends on weather, skill, and a bit of luck, but our experienced guides and deep knowledge of the land significantly enhance the odds. This is an excellent hunt for those seeking a six-point bull. We do ask that all hunters shoot suppressed rifle and every hunter will purchase a wolf license!!

ARCHERY HUNTING:

Archery hunting here is very exciting to witness on the ranch. With a great population of resident elk and more coming in during the heavy rut. We hunt either spot and stalk chasing bugles or we will stand hunt main travel corridors. We’ve had great success using either method. Our guides are lifelong bow hunters and know how to get you into the game. Montana requires an additional bow endorsement through FWP during the draw application period.
