Title: Montana Elk Hunt in 2011
Post by: SeaRun1 on February 04, 2011, 11:16:50 AM: My wife wants to purchase me a Montana hunt for my upcoming milestone birthday. Anyone have any good outfitters to recommend in Montana?

I talked to some nice people at the Sportsmans Show from Broken Heart Outfitters. Anyone heard of them or used them in the past?

Thanks for the help guys.

You need to get references, and talk to a lot of them. Don't go by how helpful the guy is, a lot of hunts turn out very bad because of this. I will kick you a PM.

I really cant say how good the hunting would be, but the trip would be awesome. As mentioned above.... talk to a bunch of them and try and talk to their references....

Nice Bull LJ..beautiful Mass!!!!
