Hunting in the Montana wilderness is an experience like no other, offering vast, untamed landscapes and the opportunity to pursue trophy-class game in their natural habitat. However, accessing these remote, game-rich areas can be challenging without the right approach. One of the most effective and rewarding ways to navigate Montana’s rugged terrain is on horseback. At Rising Son Outfitters, we rely on well-trained horses and pack mules to transport hunters deep into the backcountry, far beyond the reach of roads and crowds.
Montana’s vast wilderness can be challenging to navigate on foot. Using horses allows hunters to cover more ground efficiently, reach prime hunting areas, and conserve energy for the critical moments of the hunt. Whether climbing steep ridges or crossing rugged valleys, horseback hunting provides unparalleled access to remote locations where trophy animals thrive.
Hunting on horseback is a time-honored tradition that dates back to the earliest explorers and frontiersmen. There’s something truly special about riding through the mountains, relying on skilled horses to carry you into the heart of the wilderness. It’s an experience that connects you to the land in a way few other hunting styles can.
Our horses and mules are not only strong and reliable but also calm and well-trained for the challenges of backcountry hunting. Whether carrying hunters or hauling out a trophy elk, these animals are essential partners in the hunt, making your experience safer and more efficient.
While hunting in the wilderness can be physically demanding, horseback hunting allows you to enjoy the journey without exhausting yourself before the real work begins. Riding into camp, setting out at dawn on horseback, and letting the horses handle the heavy lifting all contribute to a more enjoyable and immersive experience.
