MONTANA PRIVATE LAND
TROPHY BULL ARCHERY HUNT
HIGH SUCCESS 7 DAYS $4750
This outfitter only runs a few hunters during prime rut on a 62,000-acre ranch 40 miles east of Billings.  In 2010 his 6 archers tagged 3 bulls, 335, 326, 313 and 2 hunters missed.  In 2009 his 13 archers killed 6 bulls, top ones grossed 375 and 345 and all scored over 300 inches.  Several bulls were crippled and only 2 hunters didn’t shoot.  In 2008 his 12 bowhunters tagged 5 bulls, 4 grossed in the 300 to 320 category and the best grossed 344 Boone and Crockett.  In 2007 they took 6 bulls with the best scoring 379.  In 2006 the best bull grossed 382.   

This area is extremely hard to draw for rifle hunters, but he did draw 2 last fall and they took a 325 and 320 bull.  The terrain is not physically demanding and easy to glass.  Hunting methods include ground blinds and treestands over waterholes, wallows and on travel routes between fields and bedding areas with some calling as well.  2x1 guiding for 7 hunting days is $4,750 and you can take a muley or whitetail at no additional cost.  Ranch house accommodations, meals and airport pickup at Billings included.  September 7 to October 15.  Draw deadline is March 15.
