Ruby Creek-Yank Swamp unit is within portions of Beaverhead County southwest of Wisdom. The Continental Divide along Beaverhead Mountains separates Montana from Idaho. Close to 60% of the area is made up by private ranches situated between National Forest eastern boundaries and Montana Route 278. Thousands of acres of public lands are provided by Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest. Residents may apply for a limited license for an antlered bull.

Large bulls may exceed a score of 140” Boone and Crockett but most trophies will be from the middle 120” to 140”. Large private ranches may become sanctuaries allowing bulls to take up residence year round. Forest Service roads offer good access into the National Forest. Be prepared to quarter and transport a bull that weighs over 1,000 pounds on the hoof.
