About Us

Whether you’re a professional photographer, videographer or just looking for a Montana
wildlife experience, grab your camera and leave the rest to Troy Hyde. Troy is the trainer and Founder of Animals of Montana. He invites you to visit his full service game farm and wildlife film casting agency. His world-wide famous animal actors will amaze you! Animals of Montana features grizzlies, black bears, tigers, mountain lions, snow leopards, wolves and even badgers.

Animals of Montana takes pride in their healthy animals! Montana ’s mountain climate allows their North American animals to grow a thick and shiny coat. Troy and his training staff enjoy routine exercise with their special critters and they make sure each animal receives plenty nutrition. For example, Troy routinely grinds up hundreds of pounds of chicken, liver, fish, eggs and shells for his own exceptional wolf puppy chow called the “grind”.  The pups and other animals receive better nutrition at Animals of Montana than what they would normally get in the wild.

Animals of Montana will be sure that you will get the best pictures for your money. Why? Because we do not use snares, leashes or fences. You won't have to chase the animals around or miss that perfect shot. Our animals love to perform, and do so on command. Whether at Troy’s facility or on the set they will give you the opportunity to get those award winning shots Visuals with an Edge! The animals are nestled between spectacular mountain ranges and wilderness for picturesque photography, film or tours.

It’s always worth visiting the Bozeman area. Before or after your scheduled shoots with Animals of Montana, take advantage of what the area is famous for. There’s always something for everyone year round whether it’s fly fishing, skiing, rafting, horseback trips or Yellowstone National Park (only 90 miles from Bozeman).
