About Sitting Bull Ranch 

6 Sitting Bull Ranch 

Sitting Bull Ranch was part of the early 

efforts to bring people and agriculture 

to the great west. Homesteading efforts 

in the area began in the mid 1800’s. Since then the 

lands has successfully been used to graze cattle and 

to raise a variety of crops. 

Since the 1980’s the ranch has been undergoing 

major changes. We no longer are grazing sheep or 

cattle, we have reduced the number of acres that we 

put into crop production and we have developed 

comprehensive conservation programs that enhance 

the land and to attract wildlife. Today roughly 2/3 

of the ranch lands are put into crop production 

while the focus on the other land has been conservation 

efforts and habitat improvements. 

The crops raised at Sitting Bull Ranch over the 

last four decades have varied from winter wheat, 

spring wheat, alfalfa hay and barley. One of the 

unique advantages of the ranch is its location in 

the foothills of the Bull Mountains on a high point 

between the Yellowstone River and the Musselshell 

River. This geographic feature helps funnel moisture 

to the ranch making it ideal for these crops. 

Over the past ten years a large effort has 

been made to transform Sitting Bull Ranch 

into a truly world class operation. This 

included a significant conservation effort as 

well as comprehensive development of the 

accommodations. Our facilities now rival 

anything in the state of Montana!

Hosting friends and family couldn’t be easier or 

more comfortable. The conveniently located guest 

quarters provide a welcoming and enjoyable stay. 

The focus of many of the ranch upgrades is to create 

an environment of comfort and a retreat from our busy 

world. Sitting Bull Ranch hosts a variety of recreational 

outlets along side world class accommodations. 

There are trophy hunting opportunities, a top notch 

Folf course with cement tee boxes, a motocross course, 

hiking, shooting range and more. The horseback riding 

or A.T.V riding opportunities seem endless. 

If a guest prefers the comforts indoors instead of outside 

Sitting Bull Ranch offers billiards, ping pong, 

foosball and darts. Two theater rooms help guests 

unwind to their favorite movies or sporting events. 

The main lodge and the rec center feature all these 

opportunities for indoor recreation and also have a 

few quiet nooks for reading and just relaxing. 

Bring your extra change and try your hand at the 

poker table or keep in touch with the real world by 

accessing the wi-fi service available throughout out 

the building. 

We’ve thought of every modern convenience at this 

private and secluded oasis in the heart of Montana. 

A visit to Sitting Bull will surely charge your life batteries 

and leave you feeling rested and energized for 

when you do finally head back home. 

Currently the facilities have never been used commercially 

but with room to host upwards of 30 guests 

overnight at a time it could easily accommodate outfitting 

or corporate retreats in style and comfort.

History 

12 Sitting Bull ranch 

The historic lands that make up 

Sitting Bull Ranch have a rich 

history. This is where the great 

plains meet the mountains, where the buffalo 

used to roam freely through the tall 

grass prairies, where several Indian Tribes 

made their home because of the abundance 

of wildlife. 

Cowboys and early settlers added their 

chapters to this diverse history as they successfully 

grazed both cattle and sheep from 

the early 1800’s through the mid-1900’s. 

The historic Custer Battle Field is about an 

hour’s drive South of here. In June of each 

year you can watch a reenactment of one of 

the most significant battles in US history 

along the banks of the Bighorn River. 

Historic Pompey’s Pillar is right about 

the halfway point between the ranch and 

Billings, also worth your stop to gain a 

sense of the area’s rich history. A historic 

stage coach route takes you through parts 

of the ranch. Lying just off the property 

is the stage coach stop, “Newton’s Grove,” 

which was part of the earliest postal route 

in the rugged west. 

In the mid 1970’s the land once again transformed. 

It went from being used primarily 

as grazing lands to becoming part of the 

grain belt. Today the ranch grows winter

wheat, spring wheat, barley and alfalfa. 

Now almost forty years later the ranch 

has a proven history of growing very 

good crops, winter wheat and alfalfa 

being the primary crops. 

Over the last twenty years the ranch 

has once again gone through a transition 

phase. Conservation has become 

a priority to enhance the lands and 

the wildlife. These projects have been 

very successful and now the lands offer 

many trophy hunting opportunities 

with a GREAT variety of different 

species.

Conservation Efforts 

Conservation efforts to improve wildlife and the habitat 

that supports wildlife have been underway for twenty 

plus years. The results? World Class Hunting! 

Here are some of the conservation efforts and programs 

we have been working on for the last couple of decades 

here at historic Sitting Bull Ranch: 

First and foremost we laid out a plan to develop 

“edge effect”. Edge effect is key to developing habitat 

for wildlife. 

Edge effect is where one type of land transitions into 

another type of land. Some examples of this are: 

• Croplands to grasslands 

• Grasslands to rock formations 

• Timber to croplands 

• Wetlands to native grasses 

Over the years we have developed miles and miles of 

“edge effect”, this has been the foundation that many 

of our other conservation efforts and programs were 

developed in conjunction with. Again the results have 

been absolutely amazing.

Orchards 

A series of orchards designed to 

attract and enhance wildlife. The 

plant variety is amazing: 

• 50 apple varieties: Radiant, Prairie 

Fire, Red Jade and Crabapple 

• 10 plum trees 

• 200 Jack Pine 

• 80 Aspen 

• 40 Austrian Pine 

• 10 Norway Maples 

• 10 Cottonless Cottonwoods 

• 10 Green Ash 

• 5 Honey Locust 

• 20 Baby Aspen 

• 20 Mayday Bush 

• 20 Dogwood 

• 20 Chokecherry 

• 20 Potentilla 

• 20 Snowberry 

• 20 assorted Perennials 

• 10 Sumac 

• 10 Viburnum 

• 10 Wild Rose 

• 5 Honeysuckle 

Wells 

Wells have been developed in conjunction 

with the orchards. A series 

of low pressure irrigation systems 

have been developed to promote 

plant growth and support habitat. 

One of these wells also offers water 

to our shop and R.V. Site, this well 

is electric. The other two wildlife 

wells are shallow wells and are solar 

powered. This is the latest way to 

go for ease of operation. They have 

had a major impact and have been 

a pleasure to work with. 

Reservoirs 

There is a large series of reservoirs 

that have been developed throughout 

the ranch. Each was placed in a 

critical area to help develop water in 

all areas of the ranch. 

So between the wildlife wells, reservoirs, 

and natural springs there 

is abundant water available for 

the wildlife. 


Food 

Sitting Bull Ranch is blessed by a 

good soils and the right climate to 

promote the growth of wheat; both 

spring wheat and winter wheat. Also 

alfalfa hay is a great crop for this 

region. Together these crops along 

with great native grasses provide the 

main staples of food for our wildlife. 

But we did not stop there; over the 

years we have developed and managed 

a series of food plots that again 

support wildlife and are vital habitat. 

These plots are sprinkled throughout 

the ranch to enhance available food 

and habitat for all of our wildlife. 

Here at Sitting Bull Ranch we 

truly have funded hundreds 

and hundreds of thousand 

dollars into many conservation 

efforts. The results have been 

amazing and rewarding. 



Hunting 

Sitting Bull Ranch sits in a wildlife rich zone 

at the foothills of the Bull Mountains in 

Montana. The mixed terrain found at this 

transition from mountains to vast tall grass prairies is 

ideal for wildlife habitat. Anyone looking for adventure 

and spectacular scenery will find it right here at 

Sitting Bull. 

The ranch hosts a wide variety of animals including 

world class big game species, predators, upland birds 

and waterfowl. This wonderful mix of habitats makes 

Sitting Bull Ranch the perfect hunting getaway. In 

addition to the world class hunting at Sitting Bull, there 

is the benefits of easy accessibility to all areas of the 

ranch. The adventure of a lifetime awaits you at Sitting 

Bull Ranch. 

Mule Deer 

Mule Deer can be found throughout the property hiding 

in the coulees and feeding in the alfalfa fields or 

wandering the sagebrush covered valleys. More Mule 

deer have been hunted than any other species at Sitting 

Bull Ranch. We are truly blessed with magnificent 

deer hunting. 

Pronghorn Antelope 

Pronghorn antelope, or as we like to call them, “speed 

goats”, are abundant throughout the open areas of the 

ranch. Six large herds frequently spend time on the 

ranch. Within each of these magnificent herds there 

are several trophy buck pronghorns. Arguably the best 

hunt at Sitting Bull Ranch and possibly the tastiest 

game meat one can enjoy. 

Elk 

The Bull Mountains near Sitting Bull Ranch are home 

to approximately 2,000 head of elk. These elk spill down 

into the ranch searching for water and food including 


alfalfa and wheat growing on the ranch. With the conservation 

efforts we have made the already world class 

elk hunting has been steadily improving over the past 

15 years and now you may spot a “400” class bull elk. 

Other Hunting 

In addition to the species named above we also 

have additional species that can be hunted in season, 

including: 

• turkey 

• migratory waterfowl 

• coyotes 

• prairie dogs 

• mountain lions 

• grouse 

• doves 

• chukars
