Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 007-20

Where to Find Pronghorn in HD 007-20

Pronghorn in hunting district 007-20 occupy open prairie and sage habitat typical of Montana antelope country. Use the FWP Hunt Planner to identify public land, block management areas, and walk-in access within the district before scouting.

Focus glassing effort on ridge tops and rolling sage flats where pronghorn can see long distances. Water sources, two-track roads, and fence crossings all serve as useful reference points when locating herds during the open season.

How to Hunt Pronghorn in HD 007-20

Successful pronghorn hunting in Montana typically combines long-range glassing with careful stalks using terrain features. Spend the first morning or two driving main access roads, glassing from high points, and marking bucks worth pursuing before committing to a stalk.

Once a target animal is located, use coulees, draws, and rolling ground to close the distance. Range accurately and be prepared for a longer shot than expected — open country often forces shots at 250 to 400 yards. Check FWP regulations for weapon restrictions and any district-specific rules before the hunt.
