Elk Hunting in Unit 200
Unit 200 lies in Mineral and Sanders counties and covers about 237 square miles. Ground runs from 3,173 to 5,140 feet. Montana FWP publishes no per-unit elk success figure we can verify for this unit. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.
Where to Find Elk in Unit 200
Montana FWP draws an exact line around unit 200 and says nothing about where the elk stand inside it. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Mineral and Sanders counties. It runs to about 237 square miles.
The lines of the unit: C-C Divide, Combest Peak and Miller Creek
Montana FWP draws unit 200 in Mineral and Sanders counties with a boundary that runs on Interstate 90, USFS Trail 404, USFS Road 7592 and USFS Trail 1714, and on C-C Divide, Combest Peak, Miller Creek and Clark Fork River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.
High ground inside the line: C C Divide, Greenwood Hill and Cameron Peak
Named high points inside the unit include C C Divide at 6,468 feet, Greenwood Hill at 6,433 feet, Cameron Peak at 6,092 feet, Taft Peak at 6,009 feet and Goat Mountain at 5,971 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Elk on low, open country live on distance and visibility, so they see you first.
Holding ground: Cruzane Gulch, Long Gulch and Graham Gulch
Below them sit Cruzane Gulch at 3,358 feet, Long Gulch at 2,948 feet, Graham Gulch at 2,904 feet, Mayo Gulch at 2,739 feet and Donlan Flats at 2,720 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.
Water in this unit
The water inside the unit line comes to 49 mapped stream reaches, 5 lakes and 11 stock tanks. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.
Reading the land status
Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as National Forest 60%, Private / Other 32% and State Trust 8%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 3,173 feet to 5,140 feet, averaging 4,342 — not much relief, so the animals move laterally rather than up and down.
Unit 200 terrain and land status
Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up
The lay of it
- 3,173–5,140 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 4,342 ft ; peaks can run higher.
- 237.1 sq mi inside the boundary.
Who owns the ground
- National Forest — 60%
- State Trust — 8%
- Private / Other — 32%
Roughly 68% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.
Water on the ground
- 11 tanks
- 49 stream segments
- 5 lakes
Counts from mapping data, so this is how many exist, not how many hold water in a dry year. Sitting water only pays where you find fresh tracks.
Named features inside the unit
Glass from: C C Divide (6,468 ft), Cameron Peak (6,092 ft), Taft Peak (6,009 ft), Mount Bushnell (5,964 ft)
Holding ground: East Fork Pass (5,261 ft), Knox Pass (5,181 ft), Lookout Pass (4,693 ft)
Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.

Elk Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no elk row for unit 200 that we can read back to this unit on its own. Where the agency reports a unit inside a grouping, or prints a table our parser cannot resolve to a single column, we leave the number out rather than publish a statewide average as though it had been measured here. Montana FWP's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.
Elk Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rifle — B License either sex (resident) | 5 | 88 | 5.7% | — |
Data from 2025 draw results. Each row is one residency pool — read the label before the number. This agency publishes no point thresholds, so the Pts column stays blank and these are pool odds, not what a point total draws.
Open in Draw Odds EngineMontana FWP's draw recap has no elk record we can tie to unit 200. That usually means the licence is sold over the counter, is issued under a hunt code covering several units, or was not offered in the years we hold. Rather than estimate a point requirement, we leave it blank — check Montana FWP's own draw recap for the hunt code you mean to apply for.
