Shot Opportunity

Shot opportunity has been 100% for many years on these Montana whitetail deer hunts. Rifle hunters should sight rifles dead on at 200 yards, most shots will range from 50 to 250 yards. Archers should practice from 10 yards to 50 yards depending on ability and gear.

Whitetail Trophy Quality

Racks on most mature whitetail bucks will range from 15" to 20+" wide. We limit the number of whitetail bucks taken each year, our goal is for all hunters to take a mature 4x4 or larger whitetil buck.

Whitetail Hunting Areas

We operate exclusively on private property in Central and Eastern Montana near Lewistown and Forsyth. We have several thousand acres of private Montana ranch land leased.

Whitetail Hunting Methods

Hunting methods often include glassing and spotting hillsides and brush pockets and then stalking or hunting in stands and blinds at water holes, game trails, or feeding areas.  The ranches have good vehicle access, so we can accommodate hunters of any physical condition. Hunts available for archery, muzzleloader, pistol, or rifle.

Montana Whitetail Hunting Season

The rifle whitetail hunting season is 5 weeks long, starting in late October and ending on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  Seasons for Deer and Antelope overlap in late October and early November. Archery season is open September 6 to October 19.

Best Time

There is good hunting all the way through the deer season.  The first two weeks of season are popular for whitetail deer and antelope combo hunts. Whitetail hunters who want to experience a rut hunt usually schedule a rut hunt in mid to late November.

Temperature and Weather

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.
