   LODGE HUNT

Our most popular hunt! These hunts take place out of the Rocky Knob   Lodge which is located between Darby, Montana and Sula, on Hwy 93. This is a full service lodge operated year round with full service bar and restaurant with some of the best food in Montana. Each room has two full size beds with hot showers. This hunt is popular because of the versatility and overall success. You leave early each morning after a hearty breakfast, with your professional guide in a 4X4 vehicle to head for the hunting area. After a great day of pursuing Elk and Deer in the Bitterroot National Forest, you will return to the lodge where you can relax while the staff at the lodge prepares your meal (which you order off a menu of several choices) and serves refreshments from the bar. This hunt is enjoyed by hunters of all ages and gender. Good physical condition is always a plus and will increase your opportunities on all hunts.

 

  BACK COUNTRY CAMP

CAMPLocated in the Bitterroot/Selway area, camps three to ten miles from the nearest road can be reached by horseback or foot only. Base camp is operated out of canvas wall tents located on a stream or lake. Clients’ tents are equipped with cots for sleeping, a wood stove for heat and lantern. A cook tent is also erected and supplied with wood and cook stoves, table, lanterns, etc. This tent also serves as a meeting place for the camp. Most hunting is done on foot from base camp. Horses are used to reach distant areas and to pack out game. Our guides are licensed and knowledgeable outdoors men. They are experienced with the game and their habits and know our area well. Your guide will not hunt in competition with you and he will not kill game for you.

 

  DROP CAMP

CAMPMust apply for license through the draw. For those hunters who would like a back country unguided hunt, we offer a “Drop Camp Hunt.” You and your gear will be packed in on horseback by one of our guides to a prearranged campsite. Upon arriving, your guide will show you how to use the camp equipment and where the best areas to hunt are on a topographical map. No horses will be left at camp. Your guide will return at prearranged time to pack you, your gear and any game back to the trailhead.
