Not in Montana, but a young man I know personally does a fine job guiding for elk in Nevada:

Thanks for the link Guy. I'm going to wait on NM for when I retire. I need to stick a little closer to WI due to work and travel times.

Since NM is a random draw state, and the odds are so low (2-8%), you're better off putting in every year, and go when you get drawn. Do other states such as CO where you can go yearly, or WY where you can draw a general tag every 3-4 years.
I live in MI and have driven to MT, WY, NM and CO for hunts. They aren't that much different in distance. It's further to Gardiner, MT where I have gone twice than to Albuquerque NM.
The only "close" hunts for you are eastern MT or eastern WY, though not a lot of outfitters there.
Check out this one at the WY/SD border:
South Dakota Whitetail Hunting - Wyoming Outfitters - SD Big Game Hunts
Western Gateway Outfitters provides hunting and guiding in Wyoming and South Dakota for Mule Deer, whitetail deer, antelope, pronghorn, and merriams turkey.

Here is my partner's elk from their website. His brother's is the one before it when scrolling:
Mate, you don't need an outfitter, I have done 4 visits, self guided all the way from the UK, downed 2 Bull Elk and lots of deer.
Get fit and do lots of planning.
Either way best of luck
