Montana Antelope Hunting

Pronghorn Antelope are another specialty at Bearpaw Outfitters. Montana is a top Antelope hunting destination and our private ranches have some of the best antelope hunting in Montana.

Bow hunters or rifle hunters can schedule antelope hunts in combination with deer hunts. Give Bearpaw Outfitters a call, they will explain all the antelope hunting details and options so you can arrange the best antelope hunt possible.

Prairie dog shooting is another popular activity, there are hundreds to shoot, so we'll try to shoot a few prairie dogs on your antelope hunt. We even get a few coyotes and badgers on our antelope hunts.

Trophy Quality

Many record-class Antelope have been taken. Pronghorns taken on our lease average 13 to 16 inches which are better quality antelope than you will find in most other antelope hunting areas.

Shot Opportunity

Shooting opportunity has been 100% nearly every year. Rifle shots often range from 100 to 300 yards so sight rifles dead on at 200 yards. Bow hunters should practice from 20 to 50 yards. Most hunters are amazed at the high number of animals seen on these hunts and many can hardly wait to come back the following year.

Hunting Areas

We operate exclusively on private property in Central and Eastern Montana.  We currently have over 80,000 acres of private ranch land leased to ensure quality antelope hunting.

Hunting Methods

When rifle hunting we usually glass several herds of antelope with spotting scopes and binoculars until we find the just the right buck. Then we usually make a short stalk to get within range for the shot.

Archery hunting for antelope is best done in August and September by bow hunting over waterholes and feeding areas in blinds which are placed at prime locations. Another exciting tactic is to decoy mature antelope herd bucks in close for a good bow shot. When they’re hot, the bucks may run to within 10 yards of the waiting bow hunter. Now that’s an exciting experience!!!

Antelope Seasons

Archery antelope hunting season opens August 15 and runs until November 8. The Rifle Season opens October 11 and runs until November 8. Antelope and deer combo hunts are available in late October and early November.

Best Time

Archery Antelope hunting is best early in the season from August 15 to late September while the weather is hot and bucks are visiting waterholes and when the bucks are rutting.

Rifle hunting is good anytime during the season. The last two years the largest bucks have been spotted in the first week of November.

Guiding Options

Several guide ratios are offered that include guiding, transportation during the hunt, and game care.

Accommodations

Motel “Town Hunts”: Stay in town near restaurants and shopping. Motels are a short drive from most hunt areas. Hunters pay for their choice of room and meals. Guides pick up and return hunters to their room each day. Budget $50-$75 per day for meals and shared room.

Temperature and Weather

August is quite warm with daytime temps often 70 to 95 degrees. September and October may frost at night, but days often warm up to 40 to 80 degrees. Late October and November temps often range from 0 to 50 degrees and snow is possible. Check current weather forecasts on the Montana Home Page before leaving for your hunt.

Taxidermy and Meat Processing

These services are not included. You can transport your moose home or use local taxidermy and meat cutting services.

What's Not Included

Taxidermy, meat processing, licenses, motel room, restaurant meals, gratuities, and any other items not listed as being included. Bring your personal gear, snacks, drinks, and a sleeping bag, and pad if camping.
