Wise River-Grasshopper unit includes portion of Beaverhead, Silver Bow, and Madison Counties lying west of Interstate 15 between Dillon and Divide.

A few mature bulls scoring over the 140” Boone and Crockett minimum roam the Pioneer Mountains. The difficult part is not only finding one, but it’s an arduous chore of packing such a bull off the mountain. Trophies meeting the Pope and Young minimum of 125” or 140” B&C can be expected to be seen during the multi month hunt. A special hunt takes place from mid-November to mid-December in the Grasshopper Drainage offering a resident tag holder a chance of an exceptional bull if weather conditions cooperate.
