Elk hunting Montana can be a once in a lifetime adventure. Elk hunting in general is a tough game. Here at Montana Whitetails we lease some of the best elk hunting grounds in the area that covers several key resident elk herds. This allows us to have elk on our properties pretty much through the entire hunting season. Guided Bow hunting elk hunts in September and early October can provide excellent opportunities at these elk keying in on our private land agricultural fields. Same goes with the fully guided rifle elk hunts that can harbor some of the largest herds you'll see during a Montana elk hunting trip.
