This region lies east of Deer Lodge, adjacent to Interstate 90, and north of Butte. Most antelope habitat consists of privately owned land, except for the Spotted Dog Wildlife Management Area. The limited number of licenses available results in lower hunting pressure on the bucks. It’s advisable to plan your hunt well ahead of time to secure access to some private irrigated fields.
