Swan Mountain Outfitters - Montana

Swan Mountain Outfitters is fortunate to have, based on our hunting permits, access to thousands of acres of the Flathead National Forest, in and around the famed Bob Marshall Wilderness. Hunting in western Montana takes place primarily on remote lands owned by the National Forest Service, the State of Montana, and private timber companies. Swan Mountain Outfitters leases an area approximately fifteen by twenty miles, and we are the only commercial Montana hunting outfitter with permits to hunt deer and elk in this area.

While this hunting area in Montana is open to resident hunters, few choose to pack in to the wilderness, which is accessible only by foot or horseback, giving us a rich stock of wildlife and hunting terrain.

Combo Hunts in Montana - Horseback Wilderness Hunting

Swan Mountain Outfitters hunts elk, mule deer, whitetail and black bear on all of our “combination” 7 to 9 day hunts by horseback in northwest Montana’s alpine hunting grounds where elk, mule deer, whitetail and black bear abound. The beauty of the combination hunts is that hunters have an opportunity to go home with at least something for their efforts should they not be successful with a particular species:

Early season: Areas 130 and 150 (High Country Camp)

• Archery elk only hunts (early September): Area 130 – 9 days
• Rifle elk – mule deer - black bear combination hunts (September 15th): Area 150 – 9 days

General season Elk – Mule Deer – Black bear – Whitetail combination hunts (late October – November, Lower Camp) – 7 to 9 days
