“The people at Wayne Hill Outfitting have a way of making you feel like you’re part of something bigger. They respect the land, the wildlife, and the hunters who come here to experience the wilderness in its truest form. My guide knew exactly where to take me, and his patience and knowledge led me to a black bear I’d dreamed of. I left not just with a trophy, but with a whole new appreciation for why we hunt.”
There is one apex predator in Northwestern Montana and it is Wayne Hill. Thanks to him my 7 day archery elk hunt lasted about 30 minutes. We hiked into the mountains well before daylight. As soon as I could see my pins, Wayne bugled and immediately got an answer. Five minutes later I was at full draw as a screaming 6 x 7 came crashing through the forest above me, headed in mu direction. He entered a clearing, we locked eyes and the two of us stood there frozen for what seemed like an eternity. I knew he was about to bolt. I figured it was now or never, guessed the distance at 40 yards, and let one fly. Luckily my arrow found the boiler room and I double lunged him. The elk stumbled for about five seconds and crashed like an oak. You will not find a better woodsman than Wayne Hill, nor will you find a sweeter hostess and better cook than Annette. Thank you both for the hunt of a lifetime.
