September means archery season in Montana, so elk hunting has definitely been on my mind. Hunters are everywhere, social media is full of elk, and there’s that familiar excitement that comes with September.
Elk season comes and goes quickly, but most serious elk hunters I know think about elk all year long.
For some, that eventually leads to the idea of owning a piece of Montana ground specifically for hunting. But finding the right property takes more than locating a ranch with elk on it. Public-land access, neighboring pressure, water, cover, food, migration routes and the ability to improve habitat all matter.
I put together a new blog on what I look for when helping buyers evaluate Montana land for elk hunting.
