Accommodations

I left public lands in 1986 when I went full time on a private ranch. I've leased the Stone Temple Ranch out of White Sulphur Springs ever since. The 10,000 acre ranch, in the Castle Mountains, also has four miles of common boundary on Forest Service land.

Camp accommodations are 12 x 14 portable cabins, insulated and heated by propane. They are quite comfortable and dry and provide for 3 hunters maximum per cabin. I have a 12 x 26 portable cook cabin complete with a full time cook providing home-style meals.

Transportation for hunting is four wheel drive vehicles. I do keep horses in camp in case we have to pack an elk out.  This is not a horseback hunt.

Gallatin Field in Bozeman, Montana is the nearest airport and arrangements can be made for you to be picked up there and brought to the ranch. If you drive you can leave your vehicle at the home ranch or if you have a pickup, you can also drive right to camp. It is much easier and a lot less expensive to get your game home if you drive.

The deadline for license applications is March 15th. If booked with an outfitter, your license is guaranteed. A guaranteed elk and deer combo is $1195.00 and an elk-only license is available for $1095.00  I have a limit of 20 hunters that I can take each year so make sure to contact me well before March as weeks fill out prior to that.

Antelope season overlaps with the first 2 weeks of the General Season so you will need to book your hunt in the first 2 hunts if you want to hunt antelope. Antelope permits are issued by drawing and I usually draw 40-50% of hunters who apply. There is no additional charge in the price of the hunt for antelope unless you're successful, then there is a $500 Trophy Fee.
