— Our Story —

Private Land. Wild Country.

Conservation at the Core.

Blade & Kara Schuett, Owners

If you take care of the land, the land takes care of the wildlife. We hunt and fish mountain foothills, irrigated fields, and river corridors that provide exceptional habitat for whitetails, elk, antelope, pheasants, and waterfowl. This is authentic southwest Montana on carefully managed private ground.

WHAT WE OFFER

Fully guided private-land big game and bird hunts

Waterfowl and preserve pheasant shoots
Guided fly fishing: float and walk-wade
Scenic river floats for non-anglers and families

Whether you're chasing a trophy buck, seeking fast-action wingshooting, or floating a blue-ribbon river, we match you to the right dates, property, and guide.

- What We Do -

Choose Your Montana

From rut-season whitetails and elk to antelope, ducks, geese, and preserve pheasants, our hunts are run in small groups on private ground we know like our own backyard - because it is. You'll hunt with personable, experienced guides who respect the animals, the land, and your definition of a successful trip.

View Hunts & Dates

Our guided fly fishing trips cover classic southwest Montana water: big, floatable rivers and intimate walk-wade streams. Whether you're brand new to fly fishing or have decades on the oars, we tailor each day to your pace and goals, from teaching the basics to dialing in technical trout.

Explore Fishing Trips

Not everyone wants to fish, but everyone appreciates a beautiful river. Our scenic floats are relaxed half- or full-day trips where you can take photos, watch wildlife, and see working ranch country from the water. It's a perfect option for families, spouses, or anyone who wants the Montana experience without a rod or a rifle.
