Dusty Crary is the owner and operator of 7 Lazy P Outfitting and Crary Beef. He was born, raised, and continues to reside on the small family ranch started by his great-grandfather west of Choteau, Mont., on the Rocky Mountain Front. There, his family raises and direct-markets grass-fed and finished all natural beef. Their 7 Lazy P Outfitting specializes in pack trips into Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness. Crary has been involved in conservation efforts for over 20 years through the Montana Nature Conservancy, RMF Advisory Council, Coalition to Protect the RMF, and several outfitting organizations. He was influential in the successfully passed 2013 Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act.
