Hunting / Outfitters
In and around Missoula, Montana, hunting is at its best. Hire a guide or venture out on your own for the perfect hunting vacation in the wilds of the Big Sky country. You will find outfitters to fulfill every need. Here at the confluence of three rivers, elk hunting opportunities abound.
In addition to keeping elk population in line, hunting provides the opportunity to get into the outdoors and experience the best Montana has to offer. Elk hunting is plentiful around Missoula. There are state and federal as well as private lands open for the hunter.
The best time of year for the hunt is, of course, in the fall, when colors start to turn orange and yellow, and the sun is a bit more kind. Beautiful scenery only adds to the adventure, with the Bitterroot Mountains and other ranges making a rugged backdrop to an exciting trip.
Elk are not the only game to go after. There are also deer, moose, antelope and big horn sheep. Visitors may want to hire a guide to make the most of the experience. There are also hunts especially for youth that are usually held on National Wildlife Refuges.
Located between Yellowstone and Glacier National Park, the Missoula area of Montana has many attractions you can view before or after the great hunt. Take a break from the hunt to see some of the wildlife refuges, the hot springs, or see some of the ghost towns close by. The rivers also have some great fly-fishing.
