Leffingwell Ranch Offering Brochure

HUNTING & RECREATION
The Ranch is situated in Hunting District No. 393. According to the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, this is a general tag area which provides a resident
or non-resident, much easier access to bull elk and buck deer tags. With plentiful native grass and easy access to live water streams, elk inhabit the
Ranch in large numbers. Often vehicles stop along Brackett Creek Road in amazement at the elk herds that frequent the hay meadows during the fall
season. Mature five- and six-point bulls are harvested off the Ranch annually.
This unique ecosystem provides habitat for virtually all species of Rocky Mountain wildlife including black bear, moose, antelope, coyotes, bobcats,
mountain lions, upland birds, waterfowl, raptors and sandhill cranes.
This area is surrounded by some of Montana’s most desirable recreational areas and picturesque mountain ranges with the Gallatin, and Lewis and
Clark National Forests located directly west and east of the Ranch. Numerous national forest service trailheads can be accessed within fifteen- to thirtyminute
drives from the property, allowing for easy trailering of horses to thousands of acres of federal land.
Exceptional skiing is a scenic 20-mile drive from the property with the “Cold Smoke” of Bridger Bowl. Crosscut Mountain Sports Center, also located
20 miles from the property, offers the highest quality Nordic skiing with over 30km of trails well suited to all levels of ability. The après ski amenities
of Bozeman, voted one of the World’s 25 Best Ski Towns by National Geographic in 2014, are also available nearby.
