Private Land Montana Elk Hunts in General Units

[timber_ghost]

Does anyone have some recommendations for private land guided elk hunts in Montana that can be hunted on a general tag? I am trying to get my Dad setup on a MT elk hunt in the next few years. Bow or rifle. He is fit for being 60 years old but not crazy mountain fit. For example, he could hike 10 miles and 2000 feet on a trail but he couldn't bang out long days of constant up and down offtrail in steep timber day after day so bonus points if it is a property with easier terrain.

I’m 60. If I were him, I would want you to take me on a horseback hunt to a pack in camp at a higher elevation where I didn’t have to go up and down the mountain every morning and evening. Get into the elk zone and stay there. Go hunt the mountains, man, it’s a lot more fun!

Would definitely take drop camp recommendations as well. To be more specific: he grew up hunting the Dana Ranch and has killed a lot of medium to big sized bulls. He has recently gotten back into elk hunting and is looking for an opportunity at a big bull. He doesn’t have many bonus points right now so that’s why I was thinking private as far as hunting a general unit. Something with opportunity comparable to the Galt Ranch, Dana Ranch or similar is what he is after

Gults. My buddy works for em. He's a stone cold killer. He got his clients some really good bulls last season.
It'd be a great hunt since the elk in that unit bail off the public a week before archery starts. Honestly they basically just stay on the private land year round. Too many lions up high.

Assuming he meant Galt, not gult.

Ranch #1 is the Ted Turner's Flying D.

Looks like they still outfit hunts on the Galts ranch too.

Montana Elk and Trout in the Shields Valley. Long waitlist but a rock solid outfit...
