Shoulder season only.
District 301 is now offering cow elk hunts until February 15. This package allows for hunting cow elk with rifle or bow. There is no driving vehicles on the property so elk will need to be processed and packed out from site. A B tag is required for the shoulder season and can still be purchased.
About the Ranch:
The Black Ranch is a family-owned ranch that has proudly been in operation since before Montana became a state in 1889.&nbsp;
If you've driven to Big Sky before from Bozeman, you've seen our ranch, and most likely a large herd of elk, from the road!
Reeseplace is our upper portion of the ranch and consists of 2,300 acres that sit right at the gates of the Gallatin Canyon. Guests can look forward to stunning views of the Gallatin Valley, Spanish Peaks, and Bridger Mountain Range. The western border of the property features a 3/4 mile stretch of the Gallatin River that is sure to give any angler or kayaker a fantastic experience. Over the years, sportsmen have enjoyed a quintessential Montana hunting experience on the acreage. With that said, the property also sits adjacent to over half a million acres of the Gallatin National Forest making the opportunity to harvest big game endless!
While we are not offering lodging at this time, guests are invited to camp at one of the many campsites on the property or make the short commute to and from Bozeman (20 minutes) or Big Sky (35 minutes).

HD 301 Shoulder Season Cow Elk Hunt | High Chances of Success

Big game hunting on our exclusive property and connecting National Forest. The package is for a group of 4 hunters, with a 10% discount off the normal daily price (if 4 hunters are present). 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 301 for elk and deer, a general unit for resident and nonresident hunters. 
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.
