Our U.S. Forest Service Special Use Permit allows us to day hunt in over one-million acres of the Bitterroot National Forest. Each day we leave the cabin in our 4x4 vehicles to hunt Elk and Whitetail Deer. During our Winter Range hunts we are hoping for large amounts of snow to push the elk out of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the Sapphire Mountain Divide. There are always some elk in the area, but in years with heavy snow we can end up with all the elk in ½ of the area, thus doubling your chances of success.
The cabins at Anglers Lodge lie with the Bitterroot Range to the west and the Sapphires to the east along Hwy 93. In contrast to our wilderness area, the terrain consists of rolling lodge pole ridges. We can take advantage of the closed roads and hunt on horseback or on foot for many of miles behind these locked gates. For the ambitious hunter, we have thousands of roadless acres available to hunt. The Bitterroot fires of 2000 burned 300,000 acres creating excellent elk hunting conditions. We find ourselves using spotting scopes more than ever before. This is some of the best spot and stalk hunting in the nation and is still producing trophy class bulls. It is not uncommon to see many trophy class mule deer bucks during your Winter Range Hunt. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to draw a limited mule deer permit for 261 or 270. The Bitterroot Valley has a large population of Bighorn Sheep, Moose and Mountain Goats, so don't forget to apply. If you draw one of these tags, there is no trophy fee assessed to the price of your hunt. Notes:
