Big Game
The Beaverhead-Deer Lodge National Forest is ten minutes from
the motel and trophy-class elk, mule deer and whitetail are definitely
out there. You'll also find black bear, moose, bighorn sheep and
mountain goats. There is a very huntable antelope population with
some nice bucks on nearby state land and BLM land. Altitude ranges
from 5,000 to 9,000 feet ... pretty mild for a Rocky Mountain
hunt.
Birds
If game bird hunting is more your style, we have strong sage,
sharp-tailed and mountain grouse populations. The waters of the
area attract migratory ducks and geese on the overlapping edges
of both the Central and Pacific Flyways.
Plan
A Hunt
For the details, visit the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks'
website. Their Interactive Hunt Planner lets you choose a species
and get all the regulations that apply. The site has hunting district,
topo and land-ownership maps, plus population and harvest statistics.
Start at Montana Fish,
Wildlike & Parks under Hunting, then click Planning a
Hunt and then the Interactive Hunt Planner icon.
We really are a motel for sportsmen - your hunting dogs
are welcome and we've got gun-racks in the rooms and skinning
gambrels in the side yard. We'll update you on local conditions
when you get here.
