Slip and Slide
outfits in Montana's famed Hunting District
area 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. 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. 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.
Our hunting country has a
healthy native elk population, a good mule deer population, and bear
hunting. This country is also the traditional
thoroughfare for the migrating Northern Yellowstone elk herd.

Our History |
 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 six sons out of the hills and onto this ranch site.
From that date on, the family has been involved with
ranching,
outfitting and hunting.
As the fourth generation on this ranch, Ryan Rigler is proud to offer
the same quality outdoor experience, rich with the tradition that
started years before him. The commitment is, and always has been, to
excellence. While Frank Rigler offers experience, and lots of great
stories. |

General Information |
We will not guarantee kills. We
will guarantee the best quality experience, personnel, accommodations,
meals, and service that your money can buy. We primarily hunt off
of horses and we do some hiking if the conditions are right. The country
we hunt and pack into is unparalleled in beauty. 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.
We have, at a maximum, eight hunters in camp during the first and last
weeks and provide four guides. During the middle 3 weeks we have a
maximum of six hunters and provide three guides. During bow season we
will have, at a maximum, two hunters in camp.
Your rates include all but the cost of your license, the processing and
transport of your game meat, taxidermy and your transportation to and
from the ranch.
Licenses and bookings are limited. Guaranteed licenses must be applied
for by the 15th of March.
