Rifle Elk Hunts
With plenty of native elk still in the area, just add a little weather and see a mix of migratory elk from Yellowstone Park and the native herd. Our area is set in a major migratory pattern for Park elk on their way to winter range. This combination can make a rifle hunters’ dream come true.

Some techniques we use during rifle season are spotting, stalking, glassing, sitting meadows and heavily used areas.
