Montana, as of this past March, actually had 641 registered outfitters. I have heard that Gallatin County alone has more registered outfitters than all of Alaska, & I wouldn't doubt it. In our years in the game processing business, I got to know the bulk of them around here, and that's part of where our current booking agency gig grew out of. Some of them are superb, some are nice guys but don't have that great of hunting, and some are borderline criminal! Anyway, out of the total there aren't that many that I can recommend with clear conscience.
<br>FWIW, the two mentioned above are good operations.
