Located in the southeast corner of Montana, Hunt District 705 has the Powder River on the western edge of the unit. This is a beautiful place to hunt with rolling prairies, large sagebrush flats, forested timber buttes and steep river breaks. Upland bird hunting can also be very good depending on the year.

In recent years, there has been decline in numbers leading to a reduction in licenses. Antelope can still be found, but hunting is much harder.

Hunt District 705 has a lot of isolated portions of BLM land, and two small isolated portions of the Custer National Forest. The Custer National Forest has timbered plateaus that drop off into the valley of rolling prairie breaks. This area is very diverse and contains everything from high timbered ridges, cottonwood river bottoms, sagebrush flats to rolling grass prairie and chalky cliff breaks.

There are a lot of isolated parcels of BLM, National Forest and State lands. In order to access these lands a GPS with landownership maps is a must. Some landowners are part of the Block Management Program which will allow public access with permission.

The vegetation is also very diverse. Some of the ridges and plateaus at higher elevations are heavily timbered with Ponderosa pine and juniper trees. The north slopes and some of the draws are also heavily timbered. There are large expanses of sagebrush and rolling prairie with little to no trees. The major river and creek bottoms will have large cottonwood trees and numerous grass species.

Dependent on what portion of the unit you choose to hunt, most hunters will stay in Broadus, Ekalaka or Baker. All three of these towns are very small ranching communities but do provide grocery stores, restaurants, gas and some lodging. Camping on most public lands is also an option.
