Hunt District 422 in Montana offers good hunting opportunities, particularly for those seeking to fill their freezer rather than target trophy animals. Despite the prevalence of stock trailers and outfitter activity, there remain accessible "honey holes" for those willing to hunt closer to trails rather than venturing deep into the backcountry. Fire-affected areas are mainly in the unit's south, so focusing on northern spots may be worthwhile. Access can be challenging due to private lands, but the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest can provide guidance, and hunters should also consider that harvest rates do not clearly differentiate between whitetail and mule deer or account specifically for species by hunter in their data.
