    Another great trip out to the property with some teal, mallards & geese successfully harvested!

    I had an incredible morning at Bayard’s shooting ducks! It was -40 degrees, which made the warm spring creek the ideal place to find ducks and geese. There was a bunch of open water along the creek that you can hunt without a dog. I should have shot a limit of mallards in the hour or so that I was out there if I had been shooting a little better. Quite a few geese out there as well. I’ll be back out there soon!

    Bayard's property is fantastic! It's easy to navigate and the waterfowl were flying everywhere. Be prepared to cross some water so bring waders or tall muck boots. Bayard himself is very easy to communicate with and made the process of booking so smooth. We were stoked to take some geese home and can't wait to go back!

    Another fantastic day fishing with the family! We caught a bunch of fish and I ended the day with a great 20” brown. We’ll be back soon!

    Bayard's ranch is an incredible spot. From the first gobble we heard on the first morning to golden hour on the last evening overlooking the Gallatin Valley, we were wowed by the property. This was my first time turkey hunting and while only one member of our group was able to harvest a bird, there was never a dull moment! I could not have asked for a better spot to learn the ropes! I'd highly recommend the property to any hunter, plus anyone looking to shed hunt or hike! The wildlife is abundant on the property. We routinely saw hundreds of elk roaming and even saw a Grouse performing its drumming ritual. It'd be a pleasure to come back for another shot at a Montana Tom! Thanks Bayard!

    Josh really appreciates the great outdoors. Him and his crew were respectful and I didn’t even know they were there. I would have him back.

    What a fantastic property so conveniently close to Bozeman yet as remote as could be. We had a fantastic afternoon hiking and enjoying the birds and wildlife on this extraordinary tract of land. Bayard was great to deal with and we will certainly be back!

    Bayard is communicative, personable and manages his land impressively! I’ve admired the property from The highway for most my life and it surely sis not disappoint to get onto. You’ll not see a hounds tongue bush nor a single pocket of spurge. The property boasts an Impressive population of elk, turkey, moose and deer. I was able to lay eyes on all four species during my shed hunt. We came a little early for most the mid size bulls, but there are many in the herd!

    Our group had a blast out at Black Ranch! Hands down the best day of fishing I've had on the Gallatin. Big holes, with big fish! We also saw a good sized herd of elk, a flock of turkeys, and plenty of whitetails. Bayard keeps a pristine property and we will definitely be booking again!

    Bayard is exceptional to work with. Despite having a ranch to run and lots of things on his plate day in and out, he finds time to respond to inquiries in a timely fashion. Oh and their ranch is second to none. Thanks Bayard.

    Bayard was a great host, very communicative and welcomed us on the property. The property is really amazing. Soon as we showed up we saw tons of whitetailed deer, turkeys, and a large herd of elk on the southern border. As we made our way to the Gallatin river, we crossed over a little spring creek that had a bunch of ducks on it. This property is so special. You're 10mins from Bozeman but you can't see or hear it from here. Thanks, Bayard, I'll be back soon!
