Montana Mountain Adventures with Monte and Mary Ellen Schnur

Whether you’re looking for a high adventure hunting camp for big game such as elk, deer, bear, mountain lion, sheep, and antelope, or a great summer vacation for your family, Monte’s Guiding and Mountain Outfitting will take you on the Montana adventure of a lifetime.  We are a licensed outfitting service and have been outfitting and guiding in Montana for over 35 years.

We offer rifle and archery hunts for all nine Montana big game species.  Our hunting camps are located in the mountain foothills of Southwest and Central Montana.  We provide traditional fair chase hunts on foot and horseback, and travel by four wheel drive.  All hunts include fully equipped camps, complete with heated sleeping quarters, cots, and cooking facilities.  
We have recently converted our main camp from a tent camp to a comfortable 3,000 square foot lodge, located on our main ranch lease.  We provide round trip transportation between airport and camp at nominal cost.  Caping of trophies and preparation of meat for processing is included as part of your guided hunt.

A fully guided hunt is offered for archery and rifle seasons.  There is one guide per each two hunters, and all cooking is provided by a competent camp cook.  Trophy hunts, with one hunter per guide, are available by special arrangement for all hunting seasons.  An economy hunt includes the services of a fully guided hunt, but three hunters share the guide.  For more information about our hunting opportunities, explore the links to the left.

I'm blessed to make a living doing what I like best, and sharing it with other people. I've been guiding in southwest and central Montana for over thirty years, a licensed outfitter since 1971.  Outfitting is my full-time occupation. I'm working with and observing nature in one activity or another every month of the year. Ours is a family business, with my wife, our daughters, and myself working together with our hardworking and congenial crew, to show you the trip of a lifetime, in some of the prettiest country in North America! - Monte Schnur
