This district is located west of the community of Butte and east of Anaconda. Block Management and Wildlife Management Areas, BLM, Beaverhead and Deerlodge National Forest provide public land opportunities for residents and nonresidents who draw a limited quota license. Much of the land holding antelope is privately held. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks estimates the antelope population at 160 animals.
If you’re looking for a Boone and Crockett class buck this district might not be the best choice in the state. If you do draw a limited license spend some time glassing a few bucks before deciding to spot and stalk a specific buck. If you’re planning to hunt private ground get permission prior to applying.
Quick Tips
