The Life of a Guide

As a hunting guide our responsibility is to get game out of the mountains for our clients. Here is a little behind the scenes look at what goes in to packing out our successful hunters animals!

Trophy Montana Mule Deer

After securing a great mule deer tag Dave Zohner hired Montana OutWest to give him a hand. After four days of hunting and passing up dozens of mature deer, Dave score on this awesome 180 inch typical buck.

The story of this hunt was featured in both Muley Crazy and Eastman's Hunting Journal- Here is the article from Muley Crazy!

A Bull and Buck Montana Deer and Elk Combo Hunt

Brian took a great bull elk after they spotted them in the morning from across the canyon his guide Bart lead him to a meadow where he figured they would come out. Like clock work the herd of elk fed out in the evening right in frount of the hunter. He stadied the cross hairs and dropped the bull in his tracks. The next day Bart brought the horses in to pack out the bull.

After packing out the elk they decided to bring the meat into town to have processed. Bart decided to check a honey hole for deer first since the rut was coming on. He spotted a great 4x4 buck that Brian took with one shot.

Back at the lodge we boiled and split the skull plate of the Buck so it could be taken home on the plane.

After four days of hunting the hunter had tagged out on not only a great elk but a trophy deer out of unit 240 as well!

Mule Deer and Elk For Doug

Things were going perfert for Doug as he and his guide got less than 100 yards from a herd of 200 elk. As the elk filed past Doug waited for the bull. when the bull presented a shot Doug squeezed the trigger only to hear a click. The bullet did not go off. After reloading he took another shot but just barely missed. After missing a nice bull elk Doug did not leave empty handed he was able to connect with his first mule deer a few days later.
