🦌 Answer the Call of the Madison Range

Cool mountain mornings. Frost-covered grass. The distant bugle of a bull elk echoing through the valley.

Fall hunting season in Montana is more than a trip—it's a tradition.

Just 18 miles from El Western Cabins & Lodges, the Bear Creek Wildlife Management Area offers thousands of acres of public land where hunters pursue elk, mule deer, and other big game against the breathtaking backdrop of the Madison Range. With diverse terrain ranging from rolling foothills to alpine country, every day brings a new challenge and a new opportunity.

After a long day in the field, leave the tent behind and unwind in the comfort of the Moose Lodge or Eagle Lodge. Enjoy a hot meal from your fully equipped kitchen, share stories from the hunt, and recharge for another day chasing bugles and making memories.

Whether you're planning your annual hunting camp or checking Montana off your bucket list, El Western is your basecamp for an unforgettable hunting adventure.
