Montana Wilderness Mule Deer Hunts
Backpack-In • Remote Country • True Trophy Potential
Hunt the Bitterroot Backcountry
Venture deep into the rugged Bitterroot National Forest near the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness to chase mature mule deer bucks in some of Montana’s most remote and untouched habitat. These backpack or spike-camp style hunts are built for adventurous hunters looking to earn a true wilderness trophy.
This hunt is a physically demanding experience, ideal for hunters in good shape and eager to explore low-pressure, high-opportunity terrain. You’ll glass remote basins, climb ridge lines, and rely on expert local guides who know this backcountry intimately.
