MONTANA ELK HUNTING REPORT-"JB's Journal"
Ask about our "HUNTER PREPARATION PROGRAM"
Our hunting area is home to both resident elk and migratory elk of the original "great northern herd" the mother herd of elk across the United States. It's not uncommon for our hunters to see elk every day of their hunt, sometimes hundreds-be sure to ask any of our references! These are the "wildest elk in North America". There's no fences here, and you will truly feel the sense of endless wilderness and test yourself to your limits, yet be granted unusual opportunities, which is all a fair-chase hunter can ask. Trophy Mule Deer bucks offer nearly 100% success and are a great addition to your hunt, or provide a great introduction to elk hunting.
"I've never seen so many elk in my life!"-Hunter Comment 2009 Season
As one of our hunters you will be treated to modern, private cabins, home cooked meals in our historic lodge, outstanding opportunity in Montana's prime elk country and the chance to hunt "AREA 313" which is world renowned for big bulls and high harvests. We offer an intensive hunter preparation program that will get you ready to take on the mountain for your Western hunt of a lifetime.
FAIR CHASE MONTANA ELK & MULE DEER HUNTING ADVENTURES
Our high return client rate speaks for itself. You won't see us at many sports shows. We limit the amount of hunters we take each season, each week, and allow "rest time" in our hunting area, which means excellent opportunities and a true exclusive experience of Montana's wild Elk country. We focus on your entire Montana Elk & Mule Deer Hunting experience and work hard to provide you with excellent preparation tips and personal attention. Here at Dome Mountain Ranch, we don't cut corners, we hunt hard and leave the mountain with no regrets.
SOMETHING FOR ALL LEVELS OF HUNTERS
Our hunts can be as rough or as relaxing as you like. With our riverside cabins and historic hunting lodge, consistent opportunity, home-cooked meals, smooth transitions and full days of hunting make us an unique choice to find out just how addictive elk hunting can be. Over the years we've adapted to the changing habits of elk and have offered unusual opportunity. We will be the first to tell you it's not about fancy gear, it's about your passion for the hunt. Our hunts are primarily horseback and hiking.
Our area is a "brow-tined" bull only area, and while countless trophy book elk have been taken here, the sheer numbers of elk and Mule deer our clients see each day afield makes us an ideal choice. We hunt in one of the "top ten most beautiful areas in the world", but it's also arguably the most rugged elk country you'll ever leave tracks on.

"I've hunted with JB and Dome Mountain for the past decade and give them my highest praise. I brought many of my friends, enjoyed seeing my son take his first bull elk (and enjoyed every part of the pack-out). These guys give the complete experience and have always worked hard to make our Montana Elk hunting experience the best. I look forward to returning with my wife to complete the grand slam of Montana Elk hunting!"

"I've been to a lot of hunting camps, and the ones I remember most were those that the outfitter and guides looked me in the eye, shared their appreciation for this great pursuit of elk hunting and assured me that I'd get an honest and ethical week of fair-chase Montana style elk hunting. After our first phone conversation with the boys from Dome Mountain I knew I was in for a special treat."

Montana Outfitter Jim "JB" Klyap
Montana Big Game Outfitter Jim "JB" Klyap has been living his dream, and he'll be the first to tell you, "if your not bleeding, sweating or puking, your not hunting elk". Over the past 15 seaons, he's packed elk out of every hole on the mountain, called in grizzlies and wolves, been stepped on by elk and seen the underside of a drifboat, and lots of other stories he may hesitate to tell you. He's there to help you from the time of your first handshake through the most demanding days on the mountain! When elk hunting gets tough, you'll want to be in his camp. In the end, he continues to offer all the credit to success to his Montana Elk Hunting guides and wonderful wife and business partner Lennae.
"JB has a way of finding the silver lining in what most would call the toughest challeneges of elk hunting, and he'll do this with a sly grin and honest approach!" (hunter comment)

He has been highly involved in the outdoor industry as a public speaker, volunteer, and serves as the chairman for the RMEF's Outfitter Advisory Board. His passion for sharing wildlife has never waned and he's about a real as it gets when it comes to Montana Outfitters. He's a tell it like it is guy who believe in integrity and the ethics of "fair chase". He'll remember your name in one handshake and make certain you have the hunt of a lifetime.
"I can't say enough about our professional guide staff. These are the guys that make a western guided elk hunt special, some maybe born 101 years too late know they've found their calling, I've hunted with all of them personally. It's through the passion in their eyes that's help me to come full circle and understand what it takes to make a hunter never forget a single moment with us. Life is short, hunting weeks are way too short. We're ready to make the best of both. "

"I've listened intently to my clients suggestions over the years and believe with all confidence that we've collectively created a unique and unforgettable Montana Elk & Mule Deer Hunting Experience that rivals the best in the industry.
