Area 42 is located along the Bighorn Mountains on the Montana border. This area allows hunters to hunt for big bulls with a high success rate, but drawing a permit can be difficult.
This huge unit offers a month-long rifle hunt and can be a great hunt for the opportunity to take a mature bull. Bulls typically are 35-40” wide.
Quick Tips
- A GPS with land status map is recommended
- Fishing for rainbow trout can be good year round on the rivers and streams
- Snow chains, a shovel and four-wheel drive are helpful during the rifle season
