Elk
Top notch archery elk hunts take place on Public Lands in the
Missouri River Breaks and the Burnt Lodge Wilderness Area near
Fort Peck Lake. The Missouri River Breaks tend to produce some
of the biggest bulls in the state, offering superb Pope and Young
opportunities.We can hunt from a comfortable travel trailer base
camp using 4x4 trucks for transportation, or we offer a primitive
spike camp in a wilderness area. Spike camp meals are "do
it yourself" meals by the guide and hunter. Hunts can be
from the base camp or split between the spike camp and the base
camp. Pack animals are available to pack out game. Good physical
conditioning can enhance your opportunity of success in the spike
camp. We seldom go a day without seeing elk.Terrain varies from
open scattered pines, rough coulees to sharp steep draws. The
elevation varies from approximately 2000' at lake level to 3100'
near the spike camp.
We also offer private land archery elk hunts on a limited basis.
The camp is an 8x28 camp trailer. Hunters and guides do the meals.
The terrain is hills and coulees with cedar and pine tree cover,
with developed seeps and springs for wallows and water. This hunt
is not as physical as most archery hunts.
Mule Deer
Archery Mule deer can be hunted on private land from the ranch headquarters
or hunted in combination with elk or antelope on public lands. Our
private land lease of 20,000 acres offers hunting water holes, glassing
from high ridges and stalking in sharp coulees with good cover.
The area offers good numbers of Muleys and Pope and Young opportunities.
Whitetail
A short drive will take you to private land for top notch Whitetail
hunting with large numbers of deer and good quality Pope and Young
bucks. We mainly hunt Whitetails on the Milk River and its tributaries.
Hunting is done primarily by tree stands on trails between bedding
and feeding areas. You can also combine this hunt with antelope.All
archery hunts can be combined with upland bird hunting or lake fishing
by boats. In most years an extra doe tag is available for purchase
over-the-counter for deer and antelope. Archery Whitetail, Mule
deer, and antelope can all be hunted from the ranch headquarters.
Antelope
Antelope hunts are from the ranch headquarters. You can walk out
of the ranch yard and be hunting in a few minutes. Hunting is done
on private and public lands. Methods of hunting are sitting at water
holes, blinds, stalking and using decoys. The terrain is rolling
open sagebrush plains. Our antelope numbers are good with plenty
of Pope and Young bucks.
