Montana is world famous for its big game hunting. Hunters from all over the world come here seeking elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, black bear and moose. We are proud to say that we have been offering high quality, challenging hunts for over 40 years. Our hunts are in tough, rigorous country that is typical of the great hunting areas in North America. The game animals are plentiful but as wild as the wilderness in which they live. Hunts are conducted from both horseback and foot depending on the animal and terrain. We will hunt as hard as you choose to hunt. Hunters must draw for mountain goat and moose tags but deer and elk tags are guaranteed through ABO. Guaranteed bighorn sheep permits are available for our area.

The elk in our hunting regions are a resident and migratory herd. The area is rough and remote which allow the elk the years necessary to develop quality antlers. The landscape varies from large open meadows to lightly timbered south slopes and long benches. Hunting with Absaroka-Beartooth Outfitters (ABO) is especially great due to our early season elk and deer rifle hunts in the peak of bugling season. ABO accesses one of two areas in the state that offer early season rifle elk and deer hunts. Hunters are guaranteed elk and deer tags through ABO.

ABO is committed to providing you with a quality hunt. Our guides have hunted with us for many years. They are experienced outdoorsmen and know the area extremely well. You will find them accommodating and dedicated to providing you a great fair chase hunt. All our equipment is in very good condition and we have great horse and mule stock. We guide a limited number of hunters through this unspoiled wilderness and as a result the wildlife remains abundant and we maintain a high success rate for our hunters.

Fair chase hunting on private land is now available through Absaroka-Beartooth Outfitters. We offer a very limited number of hunters the opportunity to hunt elk, mule deer, white-tail deer, bear, mountain lion, upland birds and turkey in distinctive settings. You can choose to hunt on the picturesque Lazy E-L Ranch just outside Roscoe, Montana or along the meandering banks of the famous Milk River near Glasgow, Montana. Each of these elite locations proffers an abundance of game.
