The K Bar L Ranch is an extraordinary Montana all-inclusive guest ranch property. It’s nestled where the North and South Forks of the Sun River meet. It sits adjacent to the world famous Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. The ranch’s unique setting and extraordinary people, make it a once in a lifetime vacation destination. “Beyond all Roads” is quite literal when speaking of this ranch. Leave the stress of the modern world behind and escape 7 miles beyond the nearest road to this Eden of the Rockies. A very intimate location with only 16 guests at a time makes the need for advanced reservations necessary. Hunting, hiking, horse back riding, and trout fishing make the K BAR L RANCH one of a kind. Join us to make memories that last a lifetime!

Mark Young Outfitters specialize in private land trophy whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope and upland birds all on the Flying Shithouse Ranch and Kenck Ranch private lands. Each year we take bucks in the 140-170 class. Included in the private hunting grounds are archery zones where no rifle is allowed in during any season, making for the perfect opportunity to take a trophy Montana whitetail or mule deer with a bow.
May through fall we guide fishermen on the Sun River with a raft or along the shores, accessing the river from our private land. Other creeks that weave through the ranch are Elk Creek and Willow reek as well as private ponds.
We also offer upland bird hunts, guided or unguided.
Our clients stay at the historic Auchard/Kenck house, built in the 1890's, which has been beautifully remodeled to expose the hand hewed logs and furnished with some of the original furniture. The house is also available to vacation rent by reservation.
The Flying Shithouse Ranch is a family-owned ranch for five generations; we take pride in our ranch and the families that have worked on it.
We look forward to our guests and would love for you to come vacation at the ranch!
