Montana Hunting Season • Pack Llama Rentals
Helena Backcountry Llamas puts you deeper into Montana's most productive hunting country — and gets every pound of meat and gear back out. No horses needed. No wasted trips.
The Advantage
Horses get the glory, but llamas get the job done — quieter, easier to handle, and allowed in wilderness areas where horses are restricted.
Llamas are naturally quiet animals. Unlike horses, they won't whinny or spook at scent, making them ideal partners in elk country where noise means nothing goes home.
Llamas are allowed in wilderness areas where horses are restricted. Their padded feet cause minimal trail damage, opening up remote drainages and high country that other hunters skip.
A bull elk can yield 200–400 lbs of meat. Two llamas carrying 70 lbs each means your trophy comes out in one trip — no leaving meat overnight, no wasted effort.
Let llamas haul your camp gear in so you can focus on hunting. A quality cot, real food, and dry clothes waiting at camp make a week in the backcountry feel like a different world.
Llamas haul in a standard stock trailer behind a half-ton truck — no special rigs or horse trailers required. Drop off at the trailhead available for an additional fee.
At $55–$75 per llama per day with no wrangler required, llamas deliver serious packing power at a fraction of the cost of a guided horse outfit.
Where We Operate

Every Rental Includes
Every llama comes with everything you need. No extra trips to the gear shop.
Hunt Season Rates
Longer hunts get a better daily rate. All prices are per llama per day with a 2 llama minimum. Trailhead dropoff available for an additional fee.
A llama handling clinic is required for anyone without prior pack llama experience, and strongly recommended for everyone. You'll cover everything needed for a safe, successful hunt.
Contact us when booking to schedule your clinic at the ranch before your hunt.
