Sylvester & Sons Outfitter

Elk Hunts

Private-Land Elk Hunts

Montana Unit 590

Access to quality elk hunting in Unit 590 is limited, and private ranch access is even more Rare.

Sylvester & Sons elk hunts are conducted on a coveted Montana ranch in Unit 590, managed specifically for low pressure, mature bulls, and long-term opportunity. Elk utilize this ranch as year-round habitat, allowing for consistent patterns and carefully planned hunts.

Archery Elk Hunts

Archery elk hunts run from early September through mid-October and feature a combination of calling, spot-and-stalk, and pattern-based strategies. Hunter numbers are intentionally limited to reduce pressure and maximize opportunity, creating an ideal experience for experienced archers seeking challenge without chaos.

These hunts are ideal for archers who value preparation,  patience, and well-managed access.

Rifle Bull Elk Hunts

Rifle bull elk hunts take place from late October through late November and are offered only when permits are available. Because of the difficulty in drawing tags in Unit 590, these hunts areextremely limited and scheduled with careful intention.

This ensures each hunt maintains the quality and exclusivity that defines our program.

Cow Elk Hunts

The 005-00 Elk B license is an antlerless elk tag that is typically available over the counter, making it a reliable option for hunters booking an outfitted hunt without needing to navigate a competitive limited-entry draw. Availability and season dates are set annually by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks based on herd objectives, and can vary by hunting district.
