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.
Our approach is simple: we treat every hunt as a trophy hunt. Our experienced guides work tirelessly to put you in position for success, adapting their strategies to match your experience and abilities. Whether you’re pursuing elk with bow or rifle, you’ll hunt vast, low-pressure areas where trophy-class bulls thrive. And unlike many outfitters, we never charge trophy fees—your success is our success.
Experience the heart-pounding thrill of archery elk hunting during the bugling season. Our specialized archery guides are masters at calling in mature bulls, often bringing them within 15-20 feet of your position. This intimate encounter with Montana’s largest elk is an experience you’ll never forget.
When rifle season arrives, we pursue trophy bulls across our vast territory, where both elk and deer thrive in the same terrain. Our brow-tine-only area has dramatically improved the quality of mature bulls, with many reaching the 300-inch range.
