Archery elk, specifically big bulls in the 320+ category, at an affordable price point are extremely rare but WTA TAGS has secured one of the finest destinations available for such a hunt. This outfitter controls a 30,000 and 50,000 acre ranch that lay in close proximity to one another. Within the ranches you will find 27 miles of cottonwood covered river valleys with irrigated crop fields, primarily consisting of corn, hay, and wheat. As you climb out of the valley the landscape changes to pine covered hills, ridges, and meadows. Elk populations on the ranch will vary but yearly counts vary between 400-800 animals with an appox. 50 to 100 bull/cow ratio. Limited off-offtake a robust elk herd ensures you will target mature, trophy class bulls.

Archery season takes place from early September through mid-October. The first two weeks of the season will focus on pre-scouted bulls that have been patterned and quite susceptible to being harvested. During the latter four weeks of the season the rut will take place and the bulls will have cow gathered which they’ll fiercely defend. One can expect to primarily utilize spot & stalk techniques in conjunction with some calling and the occasional tree stand or ground blind. If mobility issues are present hunts can be exclusively conducted from blinds and stands. Shots will typically land in the 30-60 yard range.

For those that prefer combo hunts, you can add a whitetail and antelope to this trip. Deer hunts will be done from tree stands and ground blinds, antelope will be ground blinds and spot & stalk. Realistic trophy potential on deer is 130-150 and antelope will range from 70-80+. In order to add the whitetail you must have a big-game combo tag in hand and antelope require a permit area draw..

This hunt does require a Montana general elk tag and permit 704 area elk tag. If you have questions about this hunt, would like to book, or would like assistance applying into the Montana draw, please contact WTA TAGS at 1-800-755-TAGS(8247) or email us at TAGS@trophyadventures.com
