Upland & Waterfowl Bird Hunts

Montana is a veritable wing shooters paradise. Its rolling prairies abundant national forests, wild streams and rivers provide a myriad of gunning opportunities for the shooting enthusiast. The combination of vast tracts of land and few people equates to minimal hunting pressure and allows Montana to boast a healthy bird population.

Yellowstone TroutScout Outfitters, through Garry McCutcheon Outfitter, offers bird hunting trips for pheasants, sharptail grouse, Hungarian partridge, blue and ruffed grouse, ducks and geese.

We are located in Livingston / Emigrant, Montana and surrounded by the beautiful paradise valley which is flanked by the Absaroka, and Beartooth Mountain range to the east and the Gallatin Range to the west.

Yellowstone TroutScout offers a variety of bird hunting trips throughout the Big Sky State. We have developed relationships with many ranchers in Montana and are lucky enough to be able to hunt on private land. This equates to less hunting pressure. Let us know of your preferred species so that we may be able to put together the perfect trip for you.

All of our bird hunts are for a 2 day minimum. Our pheasant hunts take place on a private ranch about 2 1/2 hours from Livingston. The terrain is ideal for such hunts with over 6,000 acres of CRP Brush filled creek bottoms and rugged coulees. For the most part, the terrain is very easy to walk. The ranch holds a number of trophy pheasant. There are also Hungarian partridge and sharp tail grouse.

Cast and Blast, a combination of fly-fishing and water fowl hunting trips are also offered. This hunt takes place on the Yellowstone River with its many gravel bars, side channels and spring creeks. The Yellowstone River is located in the Pacific fly which is considered a strong hold for migratory water fowl. The cast and blast has been a client favorite for years because they have an opportunity to cast to pre-spawning browns, rainbows and cutthroat combined with shooting ducks and geese. In the event that we must access private land for our hunts, a user fee is required.
