What a Montana Elk Hunting Backcountry Hunt Should Be Like


What you should expect on a guided elk hunt:

A number of individuals who go on elk hunts expect to stay in less than enjoyable accommodations.  This can include tents made out of plastic tarps, sleeping on the floor and eating pre-packaged meals.  Most ride horses that are less than desirable or have one foot already in the grave, if not two.

This should not be an acceptable set up and what you can expect from Willow Ranch Outfitters.

With Willow Ranch Outfitters you will start your trip on horses that are more than capable of hauling you around.  Norwegian Fjords are known as the trusted breed of horse that the Vikings used to ride into battle.

You will ride into our more than plush camp where each tent has a wood burning stove, light, cots and air mattresses.  We understand that a comfortable sleep is more than important for a successful elk hunt.

Our kitchen is state of the art, as far as back country goes.  We have a large wood burning stove, a large two burner stove, and a propane oven.  It is not uncommon to have pork tenderloins, turkey dinners, and seafood pastas.  No dinner in our camp is complete until you've had your dessert too!

We pride ourselves on our camp, camp staff and superb meals. 

The elk hunting during rifle and archery season are the best you will find anywhere.  With success just a squeeze of the trigger away.  We have very large success rates and lots of chances for your perfect elk. 

Our clients go home with exactly what they set out for - their dream elk.

Please join us for an awesome hunt.
