Guided and Unguided Hunting Trips

Upper Canyon Outfitters offers guided and unguided hunting trips for archery and/or rifle season. Our hunts include elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, moose, and mountain goat. Hunts start right out our back door. Located in the heart of southwest Montana, hunting trips from the ranch give unlimited access to the ranges of the Snowcrest, Greenhorn, and Gravelly Mountains in the Beaverhead National Forest and nearby private ranches.

The land varies from the river bottom and hay meadows to rolling sagebrush hills and high mountain plains. Then the terrain transforms into high ridges, deep canyons, scattered timber, and high mountain springs with aspen groves – ideal elk habitat. With so much ground to cover, you can choose your terrain, choose your hunt, and know that you have room to roam. The ranch is at 6000 feet elevation and we hunt up to 9000 feet. There are more than 800,000 acres of public and private land we have access to hunt.

Guided Hunts

Our guided Private Land and National Forest hunts take place in the Snowcrest, Greenhorn, and Gravelly ranges on more than 800,000 acres of National Forest mountainous terrain. Our private ranch hunts offer you not only hunting on these ranches, but access into the backcountry. These ranches offer elk, mule deer, whitetail and antelope hunting. There is more then 9000 acres of private ranch land. We have experienced well-qualified guides who know the country and understand animal habitat. All our hunts are fair chase hunting.

Each hunt pairs one of our UCO guides working together with two guests who will spend each day hunting resident herds. To ensure the highest success, the majority of hunts are done by hiking. We also provide four-wheel-drive vehicles and ATVs when needed. For those who prefer to hunt one-on-one, upgrades are available.

Elk

UCO offers guided and unguided hunts in Montana’s Snowcrest, Greenhorn, and Gravelly ranges, including limited private ranch hunts. Our areas have high elk populations, allowing hunters to pursue bulls or cows.

Whitetail

Hunt whitetail and mule deer across diverse terrain, including private ranches along the Ruby River. Guided hunts offer opportunities for quality bucks in prime riverbank and irrigated field habitats.

Antelope

Antelope hunts, both rifle and archery, offer fast-paced, exciting opportunities on public lands and private ranches. Test your skill with ground blinds and spot and stalk hunts, and take home a trophy animal.

Moose, Bighorn Sheep, and Mountain Goat

These prestigious species offer once-in-a-lifetime hunts for those lucky enough to draw a Montana license. We assist with applications and plan trips that complement elk and deer hunts for a full North American big game experience.

Unguided Hunts

Our unguided hunts take place on the Beaverhead National Forest which is right out the back door your hunts start anywhere from 10 minutes to 40 minutes from the lodge. We show you the area; tell you where we have been seeing game. We encourage you to check in with us so we can help answer any questions and give advice on how to hunt each area. Our grandfather homesteaded here in 1910 so we do know the area and enjoy sharing it. This gives you a quality hunt with guidance. We offer game retrieval for your harvested game at an additional charge. There is a walk-in cooler and shooting range available to our guests.
