2x1 Rifle Deer/Elk Combination Hunt
More about us
- Why hunt with us, that's a good question. And rather than give you a song and dance, we promise to give you the straight skinny. So, here are the primary reasons we believe you should at least consider hunting with us.
- --We've been in business since 1992.
- --We're honest and straightforward and recognize we're not for everybody. If we don't have what you're looking for, we'll tell you.
- --There are no feeders or fences around here (not that there's anything wrong with that). But we hunt hard the old fashioned way and combine all the elements of still hunting, spot and stalk, stands, calling , etc.
- --There are no crowds in our area. We are the only outfitter in the concession. We rarely see another hunter during the day.
- --We are a small operator. As owners Joanne and I are still one hundred percent active in day to day operations. If you call, it's likely one of us will pick up.
- --Our guides are first and foremost great guys and terrific companions. They are local and very experienced hunters and guides.
- --This northwest corner of Montana is spectacularly beautiful. It's not typical big sky country. Instead, it's a place where the Pacific Northwest ecosystem crashes into the spine of the northern Rocky Mountains.
- We've been in business since 1992. We offer good, old fashioned hunts and have over 200 square miles of game rich habitat in our concession here on the Kootenai National Forest. We spot and stalk and still hunt and employ all facets of those two techniques including calling and the use of stands. hunt hard and employ all thelements and techniques involved
- In 1992 we incorporated our Company with the full realization that this business is ultimately about customer service. Sure we’re nuts for Montana upland bird hunting and chasing trophy whitetails and elk. We also know that impatient, cranky guides are intolerable and that you should never, ever have to deal with one. Period. We offer good, old fashioned hunts and we like to earn out trophies. all these years we’re confident with our day to day operations, always appreciate suggestions, and promise to give you 100%.

Big Game
Montana offers a wide array of big game and is a desired destination for many hunters. Licensing procedures differ for residents and non-residents. All hunters must purchase a Conservation License and a Base Hunting License as prerequisites before buying any big game tags which are a mixture of over-the-counter and draws.
Residents have preferences with obtaining big game tags and have access to some over-the-counter options, whereas non-residents are restricted to the combination license quota available by draw only.
Some big game hunts (sheep, moose, goat, bison) are essentially resident-only due to very low non-resident tag availability. Also, Montana sets aside a portion of non-resident tags for those who use a licensed outfitter.
Deer & Elk: Resident hunters need General Deer and General Elk licenses which are available over the counter each year and can obtain Deer and Elk permits via draw or OTC depending on the area. Non-residents must apply for Combination Licenses (Big Game Combo for Elk+Deer, or Deer Combo, or Elk Combo) via a lottery draw held in spring. These combination licenses also include upland birds and fishing permits. Most application deadlines are by April 1st.
Pronghorn (Antelope) licenses are issued by lottery for both residents and non-residents – you must apply by the deadline (usually early June) and tags are limited.
Moose, Bighorn Sheep, and Mountain Goat tags are extremely limited and allocated by lottery to residents (with a very small quota for non-residents, up to 10% in each draw), these are considered to be once-in-a-lifetime hunts.
Montana’s Black bear and Mountain lion licenses can be purchased over the counter. Bear licenses must be bought by a set deadline and are quota-limited in-season (hunters must check closure status of zones). Mountain lion licenses are sold OTC to residents and non-residents (with a limit of one per person) and are also subject to regional harvest quotas – if a zone’s quota is reached, the season closes.
Small Game
Montana does not require a separate small game license; the Conservation License plus Base Hunting License allows residents and non-residents to hunt upland game birds and small game.
However, upland game bird hunters (pheasant, grouse, partridge, turkey in fall, etc.) need an Upland Game Bird License. For Turkey, a separate turkey tag must be purchased – these are sold OTC for general areas (some districts have a limited permit by draw).
Montana also has numerous district-specific licenses for certain small game hunts (e.g., special wild turkey permits, sandhill crane permits in specific areas are available by drawing only).
Migratory bird hunters must obtain a Montana Migratory Bird License and also have a Federal Duck Stamp and HIP registration
Small game species like Coyote, Prairie dogs, Rabbits, etc., do not require special permits (they can be hunted with the base license; in fact, Coyotes and Prairie dogs are unregulated in Montana). Trapping of furbearers requires a separate Trapping license for species like Bobcat or Beaver.
