Here at the ranch we will occasionally see bears working their way into the property from the Absaroka's.
Note:
Due to Grizzly Bear activity, and to protect our horses, we have a fairly tall electric fence set up on three of four of the ranch borders. We still have consistent wildlife activity; however, they have to come in on the border that doesn't have a fence.&nbsp;
RV and Camping Access are available for multi-day stays for $50 per night for the group. Inquire if interested in adding this to your hunt!	
About the Ranch: 
Our family has lived and ranched this land since the late 1940s. Despite the changes to the valley, and Montana in general, that we've witnessed as the years have passed, our ranch is still a picture of the classic Montana cowboy operation.&nbsp;
Our ranching operation is built on a profound sense of stewardship, gratitude, and a commitment to leave the land better than we found it in hopes that future generations of our family can continue to live in this breathtaking place.
The ranch consists of 940 acres in the lowland foothills of the Absaroka's, the mountain range that makes up the eastern part of Paradise Valley. The acreage is comprised of rangeland pasture and hayfields with ag pivots. The Elbow Creek runs through the property, while the Mill Creek makes up the Western boundary of the ranch en route to the Yellowstone River.
The ranch should be an excellent destination for hunters with a general tag this season. Whitetail hunters especially should have success finding bucks along the creekbottoms. It's not uncommon to see elk and mule deer cruising from the mountain foothills into our fields as well.
We are open to guests camping or RVing on the property, whether you're enjoying the ranch's recreation opportunities or simply looking for a secluded area to stay reasonably close to the Park.
We are located just under 45 minutes from the Roosevelt Arch, which marks the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We are located about 20 miles from Livingston/Interstate 90 and about 45 miles from the Bozeman area.
Note: This is a working ranch. Our children and grandchildren also live with us out on the ranch, so you may encounter people during your visit. We will do our best to stay out of your way, and we won't be recreating when you are, but you may see us around.

HD 341 Bear Hunt in the Absaroka Foothills | Close to Bozeman

Spring bear hunting on our exclusive property and connecting National Forest. The package is for up to 3 hunters and a minimum of 3 days. Located 45 Minutes from Bozeman, 15 Minutes from Big Sky. 
Our 115 acres offer excellent hunting potential thanks to a large, subalpine meadow that draws big game from the surrounding timber and deep draws. With no internal roads and dense forest surrounding our open ground, elk and deer move in and out with minimal pressure, creating a true backcountry feel without leaving the truck far behind. The terrain is very huntable, offering elevation breaks, vantage points, and concealed approaches for both rifle and archery hunters.
The property is located in HD 341 for bear.
Elk bed in the timbered hillsides and travel through the draws to feed in the meadow during low-light hours. The natural topography creates pinch points and well-used travel corridors perfect for intercepting bulls.
Deer are frequently seen along the meadow edges and in the adjacent cover, especially during early mornings and evenings. Forage and nearby bedding areas make this an ideal setup throughout the season.
In addition to on-property hunting, this parcel serves as an excellent base camp for accessing thousands of acres of surrounding public land. Because the property is completely bordered by Gallatin National Forest, you can step off your land and immediately hunt or explore federal ground in all directions—without the need to drive elsewhere.
Outdoor recreation extends beyond hunting. World-class fly fishing is within easy reach, with the Gallatin, Madison, Yellowstone, and other legendary rivers all within an hour’s drive. Yellowstone National Park is also just an hour away, offering unmatched opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and sightseeing. Guided horseback trail rides on and around the property are available upon request, offering another way to experience the terrain and surrounding forest.
The ranch is securely gated and fully fenced. Guests will meet the owner on-site for key exchange and access instructions prior to entry.
