A Montana elk hunting vacation awaits as you
experience the natural splendor of wilderness elk hunting in the heart of Big Sky
Country.
Our base camp at Hahn Creek is right beside
Young's Creek, one of the tributaries to the world famous
South Fork of the Flathead River.
September and October offer fantastic fly
fishing.
Your combination permit includes a fishing
license, so you can throw in a beak-down fishing rod or fly
rod and try your hand at some West-Slope cutthroats if you
get your elk early in the week.

Hunting adventures with Lake

Montana Wilderness Elk Hunting
Welcome
to Montana elk hunting like you've always dreamed of.
We start and finish all of our hunts right here at the
guest ranch, so plan on arriving here and spending
your first night in one of our cozy cabins with dinner
in the lodge. Next morning, we'll leave early
and the
drive to the Monture trailhead only takes about 25
minutes, so you’ll be in the saddle in no time at
all. We will already have you matched with a horse and
saddle, so as soon as our guides load all
your gear onto our pack string, we're off! Ride time into Hahn
Creek camp is approximately 8 hours. Arrival time in
camp is late afternoon.
Once we’re in camp, the rest of the first day is
spent getting settled in. From the next morning, you’ll hunt for
7
days. All of our hunts are 2 on 1, unless
special arrangements have been made.
You'll be rifle hunting during the elk rut,
so be ready for a bull elk charging right
through the timber towards you! We
also have great mule deer hunting on the
high ridges, and your combination permit
will allow you to hunt for grouse and fish
the pristine waters of Young's Creek.
At the end of the week, you'll return to your
cabin at Lake Upsata for a hot shower, dinner in the
lodge, a dip in the hot tub, and a chance to
reminisce with new friends or old, and dream of your
next year's hunt.
Please give us a call- references available
upon request!!
We will provide
transportation to and from the Missoula, MT
airport if necessary.
Availability of hunts is strictly a
‘first come – first serve’ basis. Hunter’s may
indicate their date preference when a deposit is
received. First hunt of 2009 will start
September 15.
