Whitetail deer in
Montana are typically found at the lower elevations around our base camp
and throughout the Swan-Seeley Valley, you'll find them in the foothills
and fields. Whitetail hunting in Montana is very different from other
areas of the country. Because there is so much food and water in their
natural habitat, you don't need to pattern whitetail deer in Montana in
the same manner as you would in other parts of the country; there are
no acorns. And we have outstanding whitetail deer hunting in Montana primarily
because our whitetail deer, not being over hunted, live longer. For example,
it is possible to down deer five years old or even older with much more
developed racks. We consistently knock down 140 class and larger deer.
Swan Mountain Outfitters offers several distinct styles of hunting for whitetail deer, hunts from our base camp and hunts from Swan Mountain Ranch.
BASE
CAMP WHITETAIL DEER HUNTS
Hunters interested in maximizing their opportunity for Whitetail deer
ideally should opt to go with our multispecies "combination hunts" out
of our base camp. This allows a hunter to emphasize going after a
Whitetail using all the resources we have available, and having the
additional bonus opportunity to take an elk or bear should they happen
across them. Because hunters are focused on Whitetails specifically,
our guides will take them to areas we know to have heavy concentrations
of trophy deer. This could be outside our base camp, or in areas all
over the Swan Valley that we are authorized to hunt.
WHITETAIL
LUXURY HUNTS
We are now offering a whitetail hunt from
Swan Mountain Ranch.
Through a lease structured with tha State of Montana and a private timber company, we are able
to offer a less rigorous hunt in an area chalk full of dandy Whitetails.
We often refer to this offering as our "Old Man" or "Luxury"
hunts as you have the comforts of the Lodge at Swan Mountain Ranch, less of
a walk to areas, more stand and blind hunting rather then spot and stalk,
etc. We believe this hunt will be a favorite for previous clients that
have enjoyed their time with us over the years, or perhaps father
and son/daughter pairs looking for the first deer for young hunters.
