HUNTING

General Season Horseback Elk/Mule Deer Combo 5- Day Day Hunts from our Base of Operations in the Paradise Valley - October - November on the mountain pictured above- Emigrant Peak We limit the amount of hunters we take per year and only take 2 hunters per week, which Tim- 'Bear Paw' personally does the guiding. Outfitter #192 Montana Board Of Outfitters

A good outfitter tries to ensure that all their clients are treated respectfully and courteously; their pack and riding stock are well trained, well fed and reliable; their camps are clean, comfortable and well equipped; their staff is knowledgeable and skilled; they observe all game laws; they take good care of the meat they pack out; their operations run smoothly; and God willing, they find game. The rest is hunting, and your definition of success is up to you. This is my commitment.

8 - Day hunts starting September 13th - September 27th - Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness - Slough Creek

(Don't let the gray in the beard fool you)

Our 5 - day base camp hunts take place on the majestic Emigrant Peak located in the heart of the Absaroka Mountain range. (If you look close enough, you'll still see evidence of the gold mining era at the base of this spectacular mountain.) Tim knows the area very well, being a fourth generation Montanan. His great-grandparents helped settle this part of the Paradise Valley.

Our hunting base is located in the middle of the Paradise Valley-through which the Yellowstone river flows and it's bordered by the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness to the East and the Gallatin National Forest to the West. We usually take 2 hunters per 5-day hunt. This is an old west style hunt and we abide by all fair chase ethics. It is all on public lands.

Tim is under permit with the Livingston, Montana Ranger District USDA Forest Service -Gallatin National Forest

You will stay at our base, in a comfortable bunkhouse ( small fridge, microwave, VCR) the bathroom, and hot shower are in the basement at the house close by. Bear Paw Outfitter's hospitality also includes home cooked meals in the morning and evening and a nutritious lunch packed for you to take to the hunting site.

We use only gentle guest horses and mules for our clients to reach the prime hunting areas. From there we hunt on horses and mules or on foot depending upon the game location. This allows us to carefully glass the hunting area in hopes of finding that trophy bull elk or mule deer.

Our success over the years has not only been measured in the harvest of fine game animals, but also in our client's memories and satisfaction with all our efforts during each hunt to make the experience truly memorable and successful. We specialize in providing the hunting experience that many only dream about.

Our guarantee is that you will be fed good and you will be satisfactorily tired at the end of your hunt.
