This unit is located in south central Montana and the southern boundary is the Wyoming state line. It is bordered on the north by Interstate 90 and is south of Columbus and Billings. The eastern boundary is mostly the Crow Indian Reservation line. It is a large unit but the north and east have little to no moose and is all private ground.
Moose numbers are lower than historic levels but currently stable and may be slightly increasing. After the wolf introduction moose numbers declined and tag numbers were reduced. With four bull tags now the harvest has been 75% to 100% successful the last three years. There is a chance to kill a mature bull in the 40 inch category.
