ELK HUNT RAFFLE

GVLT is excited to partner with the AMB West Hunting Program to raffle off this once-in-a-lifetime experience—a fully-guided bull elk hunt on the historic Paradise Valley Ranch (PVR). Totally customized for any experience level, from beginner to advanced, the lucky winner and their guest will be greeted at the ranch by AMB West staff who will guide you every step of the way.

All proceeds from this raffle will benefit GVLT’s land conservation program, protecting prime agricultural lands, open space, and critical wildlife corridors throughout Gallatin, Park, and Madison counties.

At GVLT, we stand behind responsible and ethical hunting as a core pillar of our shared Montana heritage. We’re grateful to the landowner and the AMB West Hunting Program for thoughtfully managing wildlife on the conserved Paradise Valley Ranch and their other properties, for working with local communities to identify families that can benefit from the hunt and the food it provides, and for adopting a progressive lead-free ammo policy.
