Photo of a male lion charging.
In Bozeman, Montana, Troy Hyde owns and operates “Animals of Montana”. AOM has been catering to photographers for over twenty years. Troy has a special bond with all of his animals.
Troy is not just an animal trainer but also understands photography. He knows how to pose his animals in the perfect setting and light. This is where AOM excels.
I have visited AOM in the winter and in the spring. In the winter, it is a thrill to see mountain lions or a tiger running through snow. In the spring I had the opportunity to photograph baby skunks and wolf pups.
As I plan my photo expeditions and trips across the U.S., I always try to stop in “Animals of Montana”.
