"I've hunted with three different Outfitters and Dome Mountain has provided the best combination of accommodations, quality guides, and elk opportunity. It's tough to beat this package. I''ve already booked my hunt for next year with my son and my pals."
-Scott MacLeod; 2009
The "Dome Mountain Wildlife Refuge" is a 4,000 acre area which has been set aside by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks to offer a select breeding and wintering area for the northern Yellowstone Elk herd. In combination with the above managed lands, another 8,000 acres is specifically managed to provide even more wild and protected areas for Montana elk. All of the private property is adjacent to vast Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.Our large use area also includes Special Permit areas of the Gallatin National Forest where much of our hunting takes place.
Our goal at Dome Mountain Ranch is to provide a fair opportunity to harvest the elk of your dreams and most of all, enjoy a well-planned Montana Elk Hunt. When it comes to "fair-chase" there are never any guarantees, however season after season hunter opportunity continues to grow in both archery and rifle seasons. There was a time when we took over 200 hunters per season. Our current elk herd is estimated to be around 7,000 animals. It's not unusual for nearly half these elk to end up on and around Dome Mountain due to it's food sources and unique location.
Dome Mountain Ranch is not a "game farm" or "canned hunt". There are no high fences or unnatural food plots or attractants, and a few steps up that mountain will remind you, this is what you came for. However, we've been granted a unique opportunity to limit the amount of hunters we take each season thanks to a conservation minded owner and science-based outfitter. We believe that every day in elk country with us should be memorable and with common goals in mind. We will provide you with the latest preparation materials and place you in what our experience tells us are the best locations, from there the results of your hunt are in your hands. If you do all you can to prepare, there's no doubt you'll have a trip to remember forever.
"I have already begun preparation for my next hunt with you and your staff and have highly recommended the Dome Mountain Ranch to many of my friends. Thank you for a great first guided hunt experience and I look forward to our next hunt together and who knows you might even see me sooner for a little summer fishing.-I am happy to be a reference. With much appreciation Ted Anderson, Sutherlin, Oregon
