Our Mill Iron camp, which is where we live, is located 20 miles southeast of Ekalaka, Mt. Here we lease the hunting rights on several private ranches consisting of approximately 50,000 acres. We are also the only permitted outfitter on approximately 60,000 acres of the Custer National Forest. Hunting here is for whitetail, mule deer, antelope as well as archery elk. Accommodations include a cordwood cabin with propane heat, shower and bath as well as rooms in the basement of our house for man/wife or father/son or daughter hunts. Hearty, healthy breakfasts and suppers are served family style in our dining room with lunches eaten in the field. Depending on the time of year and or group size we operate up to three guides for a maximum of six hunters in camp at a time. The elevation will vary from a low of 3000' to a high of about 4200'. The Mill Iron area habitat consists of ponderosa pine timbered hills, grasslands, grain and alfalfa fields, and creek bottoms. It is not uncommon to see two, three, or even all four big game species feeding in the same field.
Pumpkin Creek Camp
The Pumpkin Creek camp will be a little different from what we have offered in the past. This camp is to be considered a trophy mule deer and whitetail camp and will be priced accordingly. It is located in two separate blocks south of Miles City MT and consists of one 15,000 acre block of Powder River timbered breaks for mule deer and about two miles of Tongue River alfalfa bottoms surrounded by cut corn fields for whitetail. This ranch has been managed for trophy deer for the past several years. Deer hunting will be limited to a maximum of two hunters in camp at a time with a management goal to take four whitetail and five mule deer. This ranch also offers some excellent antelope hunting that can be included with the first two weeks of deer hunting or as an antelope only hunt at the regular price.
We do not have the large number of animals per acre found in some of the eastern states, but due to the tremendous amount of area we have available to hunt you can expect to see a lot of game hopefully giving you an opportunity to take the trophy of your dreams.
