FWP Region 7 · southeast Montana
Mule deer in the breaks, pronghorn on the flats and upland birds along the river bottoms. Most of the ground is private, so plan ahead.
What’s here
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks describes its southeast region as having excellent mule deer and antelope hunting, along with upland birds and waterfowl.
Mule deer work the broken country along the badlands and river breaks; pronghorn (most locals say antelope) cover the open prairie and the wheat and hay ground around it. Licences and permits are drawn or sold through FWP, and the rules change each year.
Ducks and geese use the Yellowstone too. Fallon Bridge fishing access allows archery and shotgun hunting in season.
Before you come
About three quarters of FWP’s Region 7 is private land. Knock on doors well before the season, and never assume an open gate means you’re welcome.
FWP’s Block Management program opens private ranches to public hunting, with rules for each area. Maps come out before the season.
Region 7 Block ManagementFWP’s regional office is in Miles City, about 40 minutes west: 352 I-94 Business Loop, (406) 234-0900, weekdays 8 to 5.
