Hunting
Montana hunting has long been recognized as some of the most challenging, and the most rewarding in America. Big Sky, Montana is home to numerous hunting outfitters. Guides are state-licensed, with extensive big game experience and are very knowledgeable in backcountry safety. Most hunting outfitters have a tent base camp set up for the entire hunting season, where you will spend a week or more.

The vast and diverse terrain of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness Area and the
Gallatin National Forest make for ideal hunting grounds. This
area has an excellent native elk population and is also part of the
migratory route for elk whose summer range is in Yellowstone Park and
winter range is in the Madison River Valley. Elk numbers, along
with beauty of the area and camp flexibility make for a successful
hunting opportunity.
There are a total of 17,000 nonresident Big Game Combination Licenses
available. They include deer, elk, fish, upland game birds, and
conservation licenses. Of these, many are available to
nonresidents using the services of an outfitter. The remaining
licenses are available to nonresidents choosing to hunt on their
own. Hunting plans must be made a year in advance and
applications are mailed out every January and must be returned by March
15 to the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
Limited numbers of licenses are available for hunting moose and
mountain goats in Montana. Licenses are obtained through drawings
administered by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and
Parks. The moose population is plentiful in the areas surrounding
Big Sky, and the hunt can be combined with an elk hunt. Hunting
mountain goats takes you into country unsurpassed in rugged beauty, and
the areas are near to Big Sky as well.
