Hunt District 540 in Montana, particularly around the Little Belts, offers interesting challenges and insights for hunters. While sightings of grizzly bears are generally rare, some hunters have reported evidence of their presence, including tracks and local stories about sows with cubs. Hunters planning to visit should focus on finding water sources, as the area tends to be very dry, which influences game movement. Additionally, it's worth noting that recent changes in draw odds for nonresident combination licenses have made preference point-based applications more competitive, as a significant pool of applicants with zero points now exists due to the 25% no point rule being fully utilized for the first time.
