Montana’s love affair is with the outdoors; there is absolutely no reason to be inside, not even in the wake of winter. Everything the Big Sky offers is from the land for life. That’s why people come here, to experience the land.

H unting & W ildlife

The surrounding mountains boast incredible big game hunting. Healthy herds of trophy bull elk, mule deer, and antelope with whitetail deer roam along the river bottoms.

The Beaverhead River has the finest waterfowl hunting in Montana, drawing in swarms of ducks and geese in the fall as they migrate to southern regions. Feed stays available for the waterfowl throughout the relatively mild winters. Some upland game bird hunting can also be found in the area.
