Elk Hunting in Montana with Montana Whitetails

Keith Miller Dec 21, 2014

Have you thought of going on a guided archery hunt for Elk in the state of Montana during the peak of the September rut? Have you envisioned a big 6x6 bull elk in your cross hairs on a beautiful backdrop of snow capped mountains under the big sky? Elk hunting outfitter's in Montana are everywhere and attract hunters from across the United States in search of bugling bulls in the dark timber on a adrenaline packed bow hunt, or spot and stalk on herds of elk where you have your choice of bulls when the moment of truth arrives. 

One of the most favorite places for hunters to go hunting for big bulls is right here in Montana. Anticipation runs high when planning a elk hunting trip and preparation is key towards completing a successful hunting adventure. Region 3, Park County Montana is where we are located which is home to one of the largest elk herds in Montana right now. Almost 50% of the Elk harvest in Montana comes from this Region 3 where all our private elk hunting ranches are located. We have lots of elk and the hunting can be incredible at times when the largest groups you'll be looking over within gun range can number 500 animals or more. The tags have been 100% successful in the draw the last couple years and offers you a ticket to some of the best elk hunting in the Country! Right here at Montana Whitetails, you could be the next hunter posing for our photo gallery on these rather easy, lower elevation private land elk hunts ...!

Looking at the statistics, elk hunting is one of the lowest harvest success rates for North American big game hunting in the United States. Elk hunting can be challenging, the most challenging is finding areas where elk are predominately spending a lot of their time. That is half the battle, once you find areas that are high in numbers of elk, the rest just falls into place and success rates sky rocket. We have varied terrain hunts that range from open prairie lands loaded with elk that are highly visible and fun to hunt. Also, we have slightly more rugged terrain in the foothills of the mountains that require a little more physical fitness to increase your success on big bulls that find safe havens in these more "traditional" elk hunting spots. Several ranches that varies between these elements help us cater to a large customer base and provide quality elk hunts to accommodate just about anyone, young or old, seasoned or novice hunters alike. Our success rate reflects our commitment to providing good habitat and plenty of elk for our clients. Success averages at around 80% for our rifle hunters and nearly 40% for archery hunters only recognizes harvest percentages leaving out hunter error, misses, and other variables that attribute to a high shot opportunity on our free range private land elk hunts.

A fully licensed outfiiter for over 10 years, we've built a foundation of trust in the community, incredible elk and deer hunting properties, and management practices that contribute to our continued success in providing one the the best Montana elk hunts in the Country! Continuation of our land management in the area and networking with private land owners to help them reduce the abundance of elk in the area has us squarely in the heart of a successful elk hunting operation. 

We have increasing popularity in Montana archery and rifle hunts for elk here in our business and have been increasing our private land base to cater to these highly successfl hunts. In addition to elk hunting we have some of the best whitetail deer hunting in the Country! A good population of mule deer and antelope offers a combination hunt of a lifetime! A professionally guided hunt on quality private lands loaded with elk, mule deer, antelope, and whitetail deer here in Montana is waiting for you! Book a September archery combination hunt for rutting bull elk and early season antelope or river bottom whitetail...! Or, tackle the fresh, frosty air on a fully guided rifle bull elk hunt and rutting mule deer on large private ranches in November with extremely high success!

We continue to increase our repeat client base and some weeks book up a year in advance. All our properties are private and well managed for your success to ensure a quality hunting experience. We can offer you a bow hunt for elk through September and into eary October. The mid September rut is the most popular time and fills up quickly. These hunts can truly be a hunt of a lifetime and are well worth trying your bowhunting skills at these rut crazed bull elk in the beautiful surroundings of SW Montana! Rifle season we have ranches that have large numbers of elk, sometimes over 500 at times can provide some unforgettable elk hunts! With several properties that are home to multiple different resident elk herds we can offer a truly one of a kind bowhunting or gun hunting adventure.

The numbers of elk in our hunting areas have gone up in the last couple years. Now is the time to take advantage of this large increase in herd size that gives our hunters excellent opportunities in making their dreams come true. Get in on one of the hottest elk hunting areas in the Country! A action packed, fun filled, and fully guided hunt for Montana elk with archery or rifle awaits you here in beautiful big sky Country!

We appreciate your business,
