Chasing Giants: Trophy Elk Hunting on Private Land with Broken Arrow Outfitters

There’s nothing like the sound of a bull elk bugling at sunrise — wild, raw, and echoing through the Montana backcountry. At Broken Arrow Outfitters, we live for that adrenaline-fueled rush. Whether you're chasing a bugling bull with a bow in hand or glassing open country for late-season giants, trophy elk hunting in Montana is what we do best — especially on our exclusive private land elk hunting properties.

Private Land Elk Hunting in Montana

At Broken Arrow Outfitters, our hunts are based on well-managed private ranches and leases that provide hunters with limited pressure, healthy elk herds, and access to bulls that have age, mass, and maturity. Our private land elk hunts in Montana take place across varied terrain — from rolling breaks and aspen draws to ridge-top grasslands and remote coulees.

Hunting private ground allows us to scout extensively, control access, and manage for quality. It also means more encounters, better shot opportunities, and the kind of calm, undisturbed elk behavior that public land often can’t offer.

One of our flagship areas includes Montana Hunting Unit 417, which encompasses vast tracts of private land with excellent bull-to-cow ratios and consistent trophy potential.

We also operate on the renowned 380’s Ranch, a high-quality private property with excellent elk habitat, limited hunting pressure, and bulls that routinely reach trophy-class status.

Archery Elk Hunting: Up Close and Personal

Our archery elk hunting season kicks off in early September, right at the peak of the rut. Private land bowhunts offer a huge advantage — bulls are vocal and moving in daylight, and the lower pressure helps us call bulls into range consistently.

Whether it’s a dawn setup in a bedding area or an aggressive bugle challenge mid-morning, our guided archery hunts put you in bow range of mature bulls that haven’t been bumped or educated by other hunters.

Rifle Elk Hunting: Precision Meets Opportunity

October and November bring cooler weather, shifting patterns, and rifle season — prime time for glassing open ridges and slipping through timber in search of post-rut giants. Our rifle elk hunting takes full advantage of private ground with quality vantage points, bedding cover, and sanctuary zones where older bulls feel secure.

Rifle hunters benefit from well-placed blinds, spot-and-stalk options, and intel gained through pre-season trail cams and boots-on-the-ground scouting.

Antelope Hunts: Fast Action on the Prairie

In addition to elk, we also guide antelope hunts across large swaths of Montana prairie. These spot-and-stalk hunts are fun, active, and highly successful — ideal as a combo with elk or as a standalone adventure. Hunting pronghorn on private land gives us a clear edge: less competition, more mature bucks, and better stalk setups.
