Beaver creek outfitting

What to Expect

*We have a forest service lease which allows us to set up camp sites and hunt a large part of the Little Belt Mountain Range in Central Montana. Our main camp site is located in a wilderness area, which is a roadless area and no motorized vehicles are allowed. A two hour horseback ride from the trailhead will get you to the hunters' tents, cook tent, horse corrals and shower tent. The elevation here is just under 6000 feet.

*We hunt from 5500 to 8000 feet elevation. We saddle horses every morning before daylight and after eating a hearty breakfast, head out for the day's hunt. The majority of game we kill are with in 3 miles of the campsite. We use horses throughout the duration of the hunt because we can cover more country in a shorter amount of time, making it easier on the hunter.

*The terrain we hunt consists of open meadows surrounded by thick green timber. 10,000 acres of the national forest was burned 20 years ago. This recovering area is a verdant, rich feeding ground for the resident elk and mule deer herds.

It is not uncommon for our hunters to fill both their elk and deer tags during the combination hunts.
