Missoula's best party is back and better than ever! Join Hellgate Hunters and Anglers at the 13th Annual Wild Night for Wildlife. They will be serving up the wild game plates, thirst-quenching local brews, and outstanding raffle prizes that you’ve come to love over the years. However, this year’s event will be something special. One for the books. Every dollar raised at Wild Night this year will go toward HHA's most ambitious undertaking yet, the creation of Missoula’s first public archery range!
