Had a great time on Jon’s place. Enjoyed meeting him and learning about the ranch operation and surrounding land. There were elk and deer on the property while I hunted but I was after a big one and did not see what I was looking for during my time there. This property definitely could produce a big bull and there’s room to roam. Jon was very accommodating and responded to inquires quickly which was helpful.

My son and I sure enjoyed our visit to the Sheehy Ranch. Jon did a great job making us feel at home and showing us his beautiful ranch. We saw plenty of wildlife, the farmhouse is great and we are looking forward to visiting again.

The Sheehy ranch is as described in the Landtrust platform—beautiful and game filled. We were there for a last week of the season turkey hunt. Although unsuccessful in killing any, we heard multiple gobbling birds each morning and enjoyed the action. We passed up jakes, who were all blowing it out gobbling, and we couldn’t distinguish their sound from mature birds. The house on the ranch was well equipped and comfortable. Jon was available for anything we needed or had questions about but allowed us to “do our thing” and enjoy his beautiful property with as much privacy as we wanted. These are real good folks and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

We had another great trip to Sheehy Ranch this spring! Jon was very responsive and helpful as always. We saw lots a game and I harvested my first Merriam's. Watching all the newborn calves running around were an added bonus of visiting the ranch during the spring. Looking forward to a return trip soon.

Waited 24 years to draw a special region bull tag. Jon was very accommodating and answered all my questions before booking and didn't pressure me while I thought about it. House came stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable for a week. We hunted 7 of our 8 days, skipped the last day due to really bad weather. Saw multiple bulls including some well into the mid to upper 300s. In total we saw 15 individual bulls and only about 10 cows. It's very open country so getting them to get really close was difficult. I was able to get a few into 80 yards but just didn't have the right angle in order to be comfortable taking the shot. There were also really nice representative bucks for both Whitetail and Mule Deer. If I draw this tag again, I'll be calling up Jon for another stay.

Had a wonderful time turkey hunting on the beautiful Sheehy ranch. Jon is a great guy and took time out of his busy calving season to show me around the ranch and point out a camping spot with views of the entire property. I saw plenty of game and was able to take a nice tom late in the afternoon of the first day. Just want to say thanks again Jon and hope to see you next year.

The Sheehy ranch is a beautiful ranch and Jon was a great host. A good private camping area was provided along with thorough instructions and directions on the hunting areas. I was successful with a mule deer buck on the first evening and saw other deer the next evening while out viewing. Jon also showed me some of the old homesteads and shared some family history, very thankful for that as a solo hunter. Tom Maya.

Of all of the places in Montana that I’ve hunted the Sheehy ranch tops them all. Jon was amazing and the property was not only gorgeous but was full of game. The property was easily accessible and very hunter friendly. I went for my spring turkey hunt and was graced with a mature gobbler coming in moments after shooting light with plenty more gobbling up and down the draw. Jon was quick to respond to messages and questions about the property. If your looking for a truly one of a kind hunting experience I’d highly suggest the Sheehy ranch over anyplace else.
