Hunting
The regular crew will be back with us next year with Will doing a little more hunting for us as he bought his own business working on embryo transfers for cows. We'll be glad that he can share more hunting time with us. We are currently booking for the 2006 Fall season. If you are interested in hunting with us in the fall, please let us know as soon as possible to insure that we can give you the hunting dates you want. The set aside licenses for Montana will be under $1000 this year.

About your outfitter
Slip & Slide Guide Service outfits Montana's Hunting District #313. This district is located 12 miles north of Gardiner, Montana and Yellowstone National Park. We have a US Forest Service camp permit in the Gallatin National Forest in the Absarokee-Beartooth Wilderness Area. This is the only major drainage between Livingston and Gardiner, Montana without a public access road. It is a rugged mountainous area - our camp's elevation is above 7500 feet. The area varies from heavy timber to open meadows to rugged mountain cliffs.Our hunting country has a healthy native elk population, a good mule deer population, and good bear hunting. This rugged country also is the traditional thoroughfare for the migrating Northern Yellowstone elk herd. Our backcountry camp is nearly seven miles from our ranch. We drive two miles on our private road to the horse camp. From that point on, we're in the saddle! When the weather is extremely cold we pull out of camp and hunt out of the lodge. |

In camp we have wall tents with wood stoves. Foam pads are supplied; cots are provided for those hunters who want them. We have a tack tent and cook tent. We maintain a top rate camp and provide the hunter with comfortable accommodations! At horse camp we have a hunting lodge. It provides our operation with a great hunting diversity. If weather is severe and the game movement is low, we will be hunting from the lodge. The lodge is a 2 1/2 story log structure that sleeps 12. It is complete with all the modern conveniences.
Horses We
maintain a sizable herd of horses for our outfitting operation. Many of
our horses are ranch raised, and all are used during normal ranch
operations. They are big, sure-footed animals with a good disposition -
if they don't fit that picture, they are not on the ranch. As gentle and
well-mannered as our horses are, we insist all hunters
do some riding before they arrive at the ranch. Tentative Dates for 2006 Hunting Season

The
hunting season for 2005 is done, and we are looking forward to the
season of 2006. We were fortunate to have a great bunch of hunters; this
year we had a success rate of 72% on elk and 81% on mule deer. We shot
some trophy elk and deer and missed a few as well. All of that is part
of hunting.
In
1884 Paul Rigler came to the mountains above
the Yellowstone River and ran a boarding house, saloon, and grocery
store in the mining community of Aldridge, Montana. In 1908 he moved his
wife and 6 sons out of the hills and onto this ranch site. From that
date on, the family has been involved with ranching, outfitting and
hunting.
Where
we hunt
We
will not guarantee kills. We will guarantee the best quality experience,
personnel, accommodations, meals, and service that your money can buy.
The country we hunt and pack into is unparalleled in beauty - good
animals are there for those hunters willing and able to hunt for them.
Everyone associated with our outfitting operation comes with a strong
background in hunting and packing. They give 100% and will hunt
just as hard as a client is capable of hunting.
