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.
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.
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 combines 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 hunts are from the ranch headquarters. You can walk out of the ranch yard and be hunting in a few minutes. Hunting id 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.
