Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Crazy Mountains access issues a concern?
The Crazies are a checkerboard of public and private ownership. Some historically-used trails cross private land where access is contested. Use current FWP/USFS maps before committing a route.
Is HD 350 goat hunting easier than HD 100?
Different challenges — HD 350 has access complexity, HD 100 has wilderness remoteness. Both are demanding.
What are the draw odds for HD 350-20 antelope?
Roughly 577 applicants for 105 tags over three years — among the more attainable Montana limited-antelope permits. Residents often draw in a point or two.
