On The Ground
This hunt district is located in south central Montana. It is north and east of Roundup and on the south side of the Snowy Mountains. Antelope are typically found on private land and access can be obtained, but will require spending some time to acquire.
Antelope populations are drastically down from a disease outbreak in 2012. It will take some time for this district to recover. There is a respectable buck to doe ratio. The general tag is for either sex antelope.

The base of te Snowy Mountains have a few foothills, but the area is mostly made up of flat grassland benches extending out from the mountain to the south. Halfway to the Musselshell River, the area changes to broken countryside with coulees and sandstone ridges that are covered with cedars, junipers and pines.

18.3% public land
Elevations from 3,500-5,500 feet

The northern half of the district is grassland, with the southern half made up of patches of pine, cedar and juniper that are scattered and associatted with the breaks.
