At a Glance

7,224Square Miles

18.2%Public Land

2,250 - 3,600Elevation Range

This area is located north of Miles City and covers a very large area, with lots of sagebrush flats, rolling grass ridges and open prairies. This can be a great area to also do some bird hunting, and just enjoy what the prairies of eastern Montana have to offer.

Over the last several years, eastern Montana's antelope population has been on the decline. Bucks can still be found, but hunting is much harder than in years past. Private land can be frustrating.

Quick Tips

Be patient, move around the unit a lot, and don't overlook single section parcels of public land
Very open country, good optics are a must
Know where gravel roads are located, it's easy to be stranded during muddy road conditions
