Bullwhacker is in Winifred, Montana. The field elevation is 3,100 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the published facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and confirm the usable landing area before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL only if that is appropriate for your aircraft and the current traffic picture, then verify the local pattern on arrival. Published remarks say runway maintenance is irregular. No snow removal is provided. Wildlife and cattle are reported on and near the airport. Sagebrush is also encroaching on the east end of runway 09/27 for 300 to 400 feet, so inspect the surface and available length carefully before committing.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. For commercial aircraft, the Bureau of Land Management manager is the published contact. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. This is a basic, unattended field with limited support, so plan conservatively. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updated runway status, surface condition, or operational restrictions before flying in.
