“My brother Chris and I have hunted whitetails on the Martinsdale Ranch in both guided and self-guided situations for 6 years. We have had a 100% success rate and the quantity and quality can’t be beat. It’s not unusual to see 25 –80 deer a day and there is an excellent buck to doe ratio. Plan on seeing several Pope and Young quality bucks in the 125—135 class with the possibility of a 140 inch or better buck showing up at any time.”

“ The 71 Ranch is a whitetail hunters paradise. The river bottoms are teeming with deer and the opportunity to harvest a quality buck is there for the patient hunter. Because the deer are relatively concentrated various hunting techniques can be used effectively. The pictures tell the story in terms of the kind of bucks that call the ranch home.”

- About Martinsdale Ranch -

The Martinsdale Ranch, located in Central Montana, is situated in some of Montana's most premier white tail and elk country.  Located in the foothills of the Crazy Mountains, its location is perfectly situated to access a variety of white tail and elk habitat. 

- Whitetail & Elk Hunts -

The East Martinsdale Ranch is best suited for our whitetail hunts where you will find several stretches of river bottom protected by towering cottonwoods and thick ground cover with a maze of game trails throughout. 

Our elk hunts are primarily run out of the West Martinsdale Ranch which borders the western boundary of the Lewis & Clark National forest.  The west ranch covers over 10,000 acres with ridgelines and high plateaus that run throughout the hunting area. 

We do have rustic cabins available if you want to stay on the ranch.  They are strictly hunting cabins and provide little more than shelter and heat.  They each have a wood burning stove, 4-6 bunks, 4 walls, a door, and a roof.  Everything you could possibly ask for in the middle of nowhere!!
