Archery Elk Hunts

Mike Moe's Double Beamed 2012 Archery Bull

My September/October archery elk hunts are conducted on some of the finest private land ranches found anywhere. I own exclusive hunting rights on these ranches, and the trophy potential is fabulous! All of my hunting area lies within Montana hunting district 590. The bulls found in HD 590 are “World Class”. Two factors contribute to the fantastic trophy quality available in HD 590. First, HD 590 is a “limited entry” bull elk rifle hunting district. This means that trophy bull elk are on a very strict quota for rifle hunters. Second, HD 590 has extremely limited access due to the fact that the majority of the land is private. Both of these factors give bull elk a chance to mature and attain the age necessary for optimum horn growth. A special permit is required to hunt either sex elk in HD 590. In 2011, 50% of my clients drew their permit. My client hunters are allowed to harvest a buck mule deer in addition to bull elk at no additional charge. Although the main focus on this hunt is bull elk and buck mule deer are not commonly taken, my clients have harvested trophy mule deer to 202 P&Y gross.

The possibility of a hunter harvesting a 350P&Y or larger bull on this hunt is not unrealistic. My clients have harvested bull elk up to 403 P&Y official gross. This bull was harvested by Walter Tate and the story of that hunt is the November 2006 cover story of Eastman’s Bowhunting Journal. The story can be read at Eastmans.com. Lone Wolf Guide Service strives to assist in this process while offering only the very finest private ranches for it’s client hunters. Please call today to arrange the time slot that best suits your needs! I will do my best to help you decide based upon the results of previous years and the hunting method that you are most comfortable with.
