Elk Hunting in Unit 370
Unit 370 lies in Jefferson County and covers about 185 square miles. Ground runs from 4,325 to 8,017 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 370
Montana FWP's material on unit 370 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its elk live. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Jefferson County. It runs to about 185 square miles.
What bounds unit 370
Montana FWP draws unit 370 in Jefferson County with a boundary that runs on Interstate 90 and Route 69, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. What it does give you is the way in: the rivers and highways you cross, and the divides that decide which drainage you end up in.
High ground inside the line: Bull Mountain, Dunn Peak and Wilson Ridge
Named high points inside the unit include Bull Mountain at 8,592 feet, Dunn Peak at 7,711 feet, Wilson Ridge at 7,527 feet, Clarke Ridge at 7,212 feet and Black Butte at 5,694 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: Brady Park, Swampy Park and McCauley Park
Below them sit Brady Park at 7,487 feet, Swampy Park at 7,440 feet, McCauley Park at 7,351 feet, Long Park at 7,163 feet and Houghton Park at 7,099 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: Potter Flat Spring, Rocky Spring and Trail Spring
The water inside the unit line comes to 8 mapped stream reaches, 1 lakes and 4 stock tanks. Named sources include Potter Flat Spring, Rocky Spring, Trail Spring, Tebay Spring, Lookout Spring and Long Park Spring. 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 4,325 feet to 8,017 feet, averaging 5,674 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.
Unit 370 terrain and land status
Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up
The lay of it
- 4,325–8,017 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 5,674 ft ; peaks can run higher.
- 184.7 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
- 4 tanks
- 8 stream segments
- 1 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.

Glass from: Clarke Ridge (7,212 ft)
Holding ground: Ridge Park (8,051 ft), Swampy Park (7,440 ft), Houghton Park (7,099 ft), Potter Flat Spring, Rocky Spring, Trail Spring
Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.
How to Hunt Elk in Unit 370
Elk Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no elk row for unit 370 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) | 91 | 107 | 85.0% | — |
| Rifle — B License either sex (nonresident) | 8 | 11 | 72.7% | — |
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 370. 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.
