Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit A301
Montana FWP's material on unit A301 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its pronghorn live. 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 Beaverhead County.
The lines of the unit: Pine Creek, W.F. Little Sheep Creek and Bannock Pass
Montana FWP draws unit A301 in Beaverhead County with a boundary that runs on Interstate 15, and on Pine Creek, W.F. Little Sheep Creek, Bannock Pass and Medicine Lodge Pass, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. 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: Garfield Mountain, Lima Peaks and White Pine Ridge
Named high points inside the unit include Garfield Mountain at 10,949 feet, Lima Peaks at 10,694 feet, White Pine Ridge at 9,017 feet, Diamond Butte at 7,400 feet and Pinetop Hill at 7,375 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn stay on the open rolling ground and leave the timber alone.
Holding ground: Deadwood Gulch, Chute Canyon and Garr Canyon
Below them sit Deadwood Gulch at 6,298 feet, Chute Canyon at 6,218 feet, Garr Canyon at 6,095 feet, Two Springs Gulch at 6,904 feet and Gallagher Gulch at 6,860 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: Cabin Spring, Round Timber Spring and Dutch Hollow Spring
Named sources include Cabin Spring, Round Timber Spring, Dutch Hollow Spring, Lower Deep Creek Spring, Garr Spring Number Three and Deadwood Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Pronghorn Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no pronghorn row for unit A301 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.
Pronghorn Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rifle — General either sex (resident) | 18 | 66 | 27.3% | — |
| Rifle — General either sex (nonresident) | 1 | 24 | 4.2% | — |
Data from 2024 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 pronghorn record we can tie to unit A301. 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.
