Elk Hunting at Dome Mountain Ranch
HUNTING AREA 313 NORTH OF YELLOWSTONE PARK
The Dome Mountain Ranch consists of 5,000 private acres serving as prime Montana elk and wildlife habitat specifically managed for healthy wildlife populations.
In addition, located north is the "Dome Mountain Wildlife Refuge". This 4,000 acre area 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.
Our large use area also includes areas of forest service and wilderness beginning on the Northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park.
"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
Montana Elk Hunting

Bow
hunting elk with a stick and string requires a focused stealth and understanding
of North America’s most challenging big game animal. The true legends of the fall emerge from shadowed black timber in the form
of ghostly monster bulls following instinctual longing. The calm of nature
is shattered by the primordial scream of tribal-like wild celebrations.
In 2007 nearly every Montana Archery hunter that hunted with us had at least one full draw opportunity within 40 yards; some had multiple opportunities within 2 yards. Some hunters were nearly run over. Many of our bow hunters will testify to being so close to elk that they could reach out and literally touch them. To us, that is about as good as Montana Archery Elk hunting gets. This isn’t “hearsay”, we have the references and long term return clients to prove it.
