With exclusive access in the area where we hunt, Swan Mountain Outfitters is able to offer archers perhaps one of the most unique and best opportunities to bag an elk of a lifetime. Our elk hunting area is so remote that it takes us nearly two days to get there and is home to five distinct elk herds. We have experimented with various styles of elk hunting doing combination weapon hunts and we have landed upon an offering that delivers the ultimate archery elk hunting experience in Montana.

Archery hunting elk, requiring close proximity to the animal, is, by its very nature, quite different from hunting these animals using a rifle. Archery hunts necessitate minimizing over exposure of hunting areas as well as using outstanding calling abilities and guides who know the difference between techniques utilized for archery versus rifle hunts.

For these reasons Swan Mountain Outfitters takes only take six hunters a year on our archery elk hunts for three 9-day sessions. Our elk hunters will actually hunt 6 full days, and one half day with the rest of the time spent getting to and from the area.

We employ one-on-one guiding as we have found it is the best way to maximize our hunters’ opportunities to be successful. What makes an archery hunt truly successful is the hunting skill of the guide. We have perhaps one of the top guides in the country as our Master Guide. He has won numerous calling and 3-D shooting competitions, and has been hunting this unique area for 22 years.

We utilize a spike camp, and are so finicky about scent control and noise that we don’t burn fires or have the comforts of our typical hunting camps - its all about getting archers their animals.

These hunts are the first to book up, and we typically have been booked two years in advance, so don’t wait!
