2022 Event Info

Continue building your backcountry hunting skills and knowledge.

Invest a weekend of your time to avoid years of frustration and unfilled tags. The goal of Western Hunting Summit is to instill the confidence you need, not just to fill a single tag, but to find consistent success year after year. Learn from some of the most seasoned and successful authorities in Western Hunting to develop the skills you’ll need to face any hunt. Four-day summits focusing on Archery Elk and Backcountry Elk & Mule Deer Combo will be available.

2023 Summits

We’ve listened to your feedback and are focusing on two summits for 2023. We’re bringing back the ever-popular Archery Elk summit from June 15-18, 2023 and, for attendees looking for a more broad hunting experience, a Backcountry Elk & Mule Deer Combo summit from June 22-25, 2023.

What’s Included

• Each summit will be held at a 27,000-acre ranch butted up to the Big Belt Mountains, located approximately one hour from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN).

• All attendees will be required to camp on-site at the ranch and must be prepared with accommodations (tents, tipis, car and truck camping, small trailers and campers, etc.). Please note that there is no waste disposal available on site and, due to access limitations, large RVs will not be allowed.

• Porta-potty restrooms will be provided.

• Healthy food will be provided for the entire weekend.

• All presentations, workouts, interactive activities, and entertainment will take place at the ranch. You’ll have plenty of time to socialize with other attendees and pick the brains of our presenters.

Important Notes

• All summits will take place rain or shine. The Montana weather may provide additional mental toughness training.

• Ages 16+ only. All attendees under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a paid legal guardian attendee.

• Due to insurance requirements, only paid attendees will be allowed on-site at the ranch. All spouses, partners and children (of an appropriate age) wishing to attend must have a valid pass. We are offering a special two-pass deal for attendees wishing to bring a spouse or child. If bringing unpaid family members, please make accommodations for them off-site and keep an eye out for our list of local attractions.

• You will be required to provide your own transportation to and from the event. Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) is approximately an hour away and offers rental cars. If flying in, we can assist in connecting you with other attendees to carpool with or possibly setting up a vanpool service. Due to insurance requirements, we WILL NOT be shuttling attendees to or from the event.

• At check-in, all attendees will be required to sign a safety waiver.
