Activities

​

Stay and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities!

Big Game Hunting

The Hughes’ private property encompasses acreage in the Little Belt Mountains providing the solitude sportsmen desire. Whether you want the week to yourself or wish to bring five companions, the ranch will be entirely yours for six days. The Hughes property is located in hunting districts 448 and 420 and borders the Judith River Game Range and the Lewis & Clark National Forest. 

​

Please visit the ​Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks  website for seasonal hunting information. 

​

For information on hunting rates and availability, please contact us.

Wildlife 

For nature enthusiasts, we can provide recommendations for fishing holes, areas for bird and wildlife watching, and small game hunting.

​

Our creeks and ponds offer enjoyment to the fisherman, whether expert or novice. Catch brook trout from your hook and lure on Sage Creek and Running Wolf Creek and cutthroat trout from your fly on our stocked ponds.

 

The Little Belt Mountains are a popular destination for bird lovers. There are nearly 150 bluebird boxes and 142 bird species within the intermediate area. Activity of the bluebirds is monitored in the spring (laying of eggs, hatching, fledging) and this information is reported to the ​Mountain Bluebird Trails, Inc.

​

There is abundant opportunity for varmint hunting including ground squirrel and woodchuck hunts. Bird hunting abounds in central Montana with several species of fowl including Hungarian partridge, grouse, and pheasant.

The Little Belt Mountains

The Lewis and Clark National Forest offers a range of opportunities for its guests to enjoy the outdoors including biking, hiking, and running trails. Bicycles can be rented from The Knicker Biker Bike Shop in Great Falls.
