Montana Elk Hunting with Wayne Hill Outfitting

Deep in Northwestern Montana’s pristine wilderness, trophy bull elk roam across 480,000 acres of untamed Kootenai and Lolo National Forest. Here, at an elevation of 5,000 feet, our resident herds offer some of the finest elk hunting opportunities in the state. With over three decades of experience, Wayne Hill Outfitting has mastered these mountains, leading dedicated hunters to remarkable success in both archery and rifle seasons.
