I am planning a trip to Montana in 2012 to go archery elk hunting. I would rather hunt eastern or central Montana because of driving distance. If anyone has hunted with any outfittersin these areas and would have info, GOOD OR BAD too help narrow my decision making I would appreciate the help.

Well if you can't find anyone in eastern or central, I have a outfitter out west who conducts hunts in the bitterroot mountains. PM if you wish for more info.
Thanks!

you should consider applying for a permit in the missouri breaks area and see how that works out for ya....at least as an option....

If I were you I would save up a little & hunt in NW MT. If interested I can get you a ton of reputable outfitters for the NW area.

hey Brian

I know a great outfitter in the BEAVERHEAD Mountains. Much better area then the Bitterroots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out Cottonwood Outfitters. They are just outside Billings for their elk hunts and they have some great archery hunting. I believe you can draw archery there pretty easy as well. I hunted mule deer with them last year around Miles City but the elk hunts they have look really good.
