DONATION: 6-day rifle only hunt on 4,500 acre private property, the Jack Creek Preserve for 1 hunter. This connects the south and north units of the 259,000 acre Lee Metcalf Wilderness in Montana. Due to very restricted hunting pressure on the Preserve's property and surrounding public and private land, trophy quality is extremely high. Access to Preserve and the surrounding land is limited by a gated road running from Ennis to Big Sky resulting in almost no public pressure on the surrounding public land. In partnership with the Wild Sheep Foundation and other conservation organizations, the Jack Creek Preserve Foundation offers Conservation Field Schools for teachers every summer where they learn about the importance of hunter based conservation and about the conservation work that the Wild Sheep Foundation performs. Not only will you get to visit one of the most spectacular areas in the lower 48 and hunt elk, but you will be helping a great cause by funding these teacher conservation workshops.
DATES: Approximate season dates are October 20 - November 24, 2023, you will pick a 6 day period in this timeframe.
ADDITIONAL HUNTERS: Not available.
ADDITIONAL NON-HUNTERS: Two guests may accompany the hunter.
AMENITIES INCLUDED: Use of remote cabins for sleeping/base camp accommodations on the JCP property. No electricity or running water. 4 wheel vehicle necessary. Access to the property for scouting prior to the hunt can be arranged.
AMENITIES NOT INCLUDED: Guiding is not included, but may be arranged with local outfitter.
LOCATION: Madison County, MT.
SPECIAL NOTES: Each year the Preserve offers access to (2-3) archery hunters and (2) rifle hunters to the property to help fund its conservation education programs. The average elk taken over the last 10 years of archery and rifle hunting has typically had a score ranging from 320"-360" P& YC Points. In 2016, one of the archery hunters took a bull scoring 372” and a past year’s rifle hunter took a monster 8X7 elk. This game management unit is associated with the statewide elk and deer combo tag. Non-resident drawing odds are nearly 100%. We will reschedule the hunter to 2024 if they do not draw a tag.
VALUE: $10,000-$15,000
