Antelope hunting district 404, located in northcentral Montana, is one of the largest antelope units in the state. It stretches east of the Rocky Mountain front, from Great Falls north to Highway 2, and is characterized by nearly all farmed land, with wheat and other dry ground crops being common. The region has very little topographic variation, except for some river breaks along the major water routes. While it can be difficult to obtain a hunting permit for this unit, it is known for producing some of the best bucks in Montana. A recent die-off did cause a decline in the antelope population, but numbers are still present in the area.
