Plan Your Guided Hunting Trip in Montana
Your adventure with us starts here. By choosing the Bob Marshall Wilderness complex as your hunting destination, you’re opting for one of the most pristine and wild areas in Montana. To ensure you’re well-rested and ready for the journey, we recommend arriving in Kalispell the day before your expedition, where you can stay at one of the local lodging facilities.

Upon meeting at our scheduled location, we'll travel to one of two trailheads to begin our journey into the backcountry.
Early Season Hunts
(Mid-September to Mid-October)
If your hunt takes place early in the season, we will set up camp at the Beavercreek trailhead for the night. The next morning, after a hearty breakfast at 4:30am, we’ll pack up and saddle the horses, departing on a spectacular ten-hour, thirty-mile ride along the Spotted Bear River to Lone Butte Camp.
Late Season Hunts
(Mid-October to November)
For hunts occurring later in the season, as heavy snowfall drives animals to lower elevations, we’ll head to winter range hunting grounds. We’ll set up camp at the Meadow Creek trailhead for the night and proceed the next morning on a fifteen-mile journey along the South Fork of the Flathead River to Independence Camp.
PRIME HUNTING SEASON
One significant advantage of hunting in the "Bob" during early season is Montana's rifle hunting period in mid to late September, coinciding with the prime rut period for elk. This active time for elk herds, marked by increased movement and vocalizations, enhances your chances of a successful and thrilling hunt.
Once your adventure concludes, we will accompany you on a one-day ride back to civilization and to your lodging for the night in Kalispell.
