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.
Whitetail Deer
Moose, Bighorn Sheep, and Mountain Goat
Elk and Mule Deer
UCO offers both guided and unguided National Forest hunts that take place in the Snowcrest, Greenhorn, and Gravelly ranges. A limited number of guided private ranch hunts are available. We are located in hunting areas 330,324, 326 & 322 which offers some of the best elk hunting in the state of Montana. Elk numbers are higher than the FWP objective in our area, this allows you to harvest a bull elk or cow elk with your big game elk license. The average bull is 5×5 or larger. Elk hunting can be one of the most rewarding hunts and it can also be one of the most challenging hunts. For one of the most exciting hunts, there is nothing that compares to an archery bugling bull hunt.
Mule Deer are also abundant in our area, and we get a number of respectable bucks. Area #330 is a general permit area and area #324 is a permit-only area and UCO will help you with this process.

Canyon X Vs Antelope Canyon
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.

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.

How To See Antelope Canyon
Policies and Additional Info
Antelope Canyon Tours
Solo TravelerPackages are based on double occupancy. An additional fee of 25% is charged for solo travelers. |
Licensing and TaxesTaxes, hunting licenses, and gratuity are not included in the prices listed. The customary gratuity for satisfied guests is 15-20% of the total stay. Due to the increase in people applying for Montana’s limited non-resident hunting licenses, we have updated the process in which we apply for all licenses and permits. Upper Canyon Outfitters now applies for all booked hunters’ preference points, licenses, and permits. If hunters apply on their own and do not receive a license, deposits are not refunded. UCO will do everything we can to acquire a license, but due to the limited amount of licenses, we cannot guarantee hunters will draw. If UCO applies for you and you do not draw, you will be fully refunded your deposit or move your deposit to the following year. Because of the high demand for nonresident licenses, the state suggests that out-of-state hunters start planning hunting trips two years in advance. This allows hunters to purchase preference points in advance which increases the hunter’s chance of drawing. |
Reservations and CancellationsBecause we accommodate only a few hunters, it is suggested hunters make reservations in advance. A deposit of 30% is required to book a hunt. Deposits are fully refundable if our hunters are unsuccessful in drawing a license, only when UCO applied for licenses. Should a hunter cancel a hunt prior to February 1, the deposit will be returned in full, less a $50 cancellation fee. If you cancel your hunt after February 1, your deposit will be transferred to the following year IF another replacement hunter is found and all fees are paid, otherwise all deposits are non-refundable. We strongly encourage you to obtain Travel Insurance endorsed by the Montana Outfitter and Guide Association (MOGA). Insurance also protects you from damage or loss of equipment and provides medical benefits and emergency evacuation coverage during your hunt. All of our hunts are fair chase, therefore there is a chance you may not harvest an animal during your hunt. If the thought of going home without an animal is not acceptable to you, we suggest that you not book a hunt. In the occurrence of any unforeseen shutdown of Upper Canyon Outfitters, such as a forest fire, all money received will be transferred to the following year. |
Client ResponsibilitiesAll clients will be required to follow the ranch/stable and guides’ safety policies and procedures and all clients will be required to sign a Participant Assumption of Risks, Acknowledgment of Inherent Risks and Indemnity Agreement in favor of Upper Canyon Outfitters, Inc. upon arrival. UCO is the home to many pets and livestock, for this reason, we do not allow any outside pets at the ranch. |
DepositA deposit of 30% is required for all reservations, the remaining balance, taxes and gratuity is due upon arrival at Upper Canyon Outfitters. We prefer check, cash, or debit, but also accept visa or MasterCard. A 2.75% convenience fee will be added if paying by credit card. |
Transportation to RanchDue to our new health standards, we no longer offer a shuttle service. We highly recommend renting a vehicle. Having your own car gives you the freedom to enjoy evening activities and wildlife viewing on your own. |
