Elk Hunting
Early Rut-Rifle & Archery
Bob Marshall Wilderness Elk Hunting Adventure
Experience the ultimate wilderness elk hunt in one of the most pristine and remote territories in the lower 48 states. Our Early Rut-Rifle & Archery packages take you deep into Montana's backcountry, with a 15-mile horseback journey to our base camp near the Spotted Bear River headwaters. Nestled against the Continental Divide and bordering the Sun River Game Preserve, our exclusive hunting grounds consistently produce impressive public land bulls. We hold a unique advantage with our September 15th rifle season opening, allowing hunters to pursue elk during the early rut – a rare opportunity in Montana.
This physically demanding adventure requires true grit, but rewards determined hunters with unparalleled opportunities to pursue trophy elk in genuine wilderness. Our seasoned guides, supported by strong horses and mules, lead you through this rugged terrain where few hunters venture. This hunting package is 8 days long.
Space is extremely limited for this exceptional hunting experience, with waitlist options available for potential cancellations.
