High Rye unit is situated within portions of Silver Bow and Deer Lodge Counties located southeast of Anaconda. It includes some 30,000 +/- acres of Mt Haggin and 7,394 acres of Fleecer Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Deerlodge National Forest provides thousands of acres of public access in both north and south of the Continental Divide. Residents may apply for an antlered bull tag.
Good access to Forest Service roads and trails along with Montana Wildlife Areas allow tag holder to hunt into most areas. The onset of the breeding season in late September gives Bowhunters a great opportunity to call in an aggressive bull. Be prepared to quarter and transport over 500 pounds of bone out meat.
