Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit A319

Montana FWP's material on unit A319 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its pronghorn live. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Silver Bow and Deer Lodge counties.

What bounds unit A319

Montana FWP draws unit A319 in Silver Bow and Deer Lodge counties with a boundary that runs on Interstate 90, Interstate 15, Route 43 and Route 274, 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: Fleecer Ridge, Mount Fleecer and Granulated Mountain

Named high points inside the unit include Fleecer Ridge at 9,427 feet, Mount Fleecer at 9,426 feet, Granulated Mountain at 9,151 feet, Dickie Peak at 9,109 feet and Little Granulated Mountain at 9,047 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: Lincoln Park, Mariah Meadows and Julius Gulch

Below them sit Lincoln Park at 6,615 feet, Mariah Meadows at 6,517 feet, Julius Gulch at 6,468 feet, Coyote Gulch at 6,457 feet and Minnesota Gulch at 6,245 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

Water: Deer Spring and Wire Spring

Named sources include Deer Spring and Wire Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up

Named features inside the unit

Glass from: Fleecer Ridge (9,427 ft), Granulated Mountain (9,151 ft), Dickie Peak (9,109 ft), Bear Mountain (8,651 ft)

Holding ground: Granulated Pass (8,647 ft), Mitchell Park (8,230 ft), Selway Meadows (7,734 ft), Deer 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 Pronghorn in Unit A319

Montana FWP publishes no pronghorn success figure for unit A319 that we can tie to this unit alone, so we won't quote one. The plan: spot from a vehicle or a rise at distance, then plan a stalk that uses the only cover there is — the curve of the ground.

Glassing from Burnt Mountain, Starlight Mountain and Bean Ridge

Take a position on one of Burnt Mountain (8,385 ft), Starlight Mountain (8,142 ft), Bean Ridge (7,918 ft) and Beals Hill (7,851 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. A tripod is worth more here than another hour of walking. On the rut hunts, early-season bucks hold does and can be decoyed where the law allows it.

The way in: Interstate 90, Interstate 15 and Route 43

We have no road inventory for this unit, so the only routes we can name are the ones Montana FWP draws the boundary with: Interstate 90, Interstate 15, Route 43, Route 274 and Route 1. Those are its edges, not its interior — useful because they are where you leave the pavement, and useless for telling you what the inside is like. Check each of them on a current motor-vehicle-use map before you count on it, because a line on a boundary description is not a promise of public access.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Fleecer Ridge, Granulated Mountain, Dickie Peak and Bear Mountain as places to see from, and Granulated Pass, Mitchell Park, Selway Meadows and Deer Spring as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Walk between two of them rather than driving between four, and you will learn more in a day.

What we can't tell you

Some of the ground named above carries no land-status flag we trust, so check ownership on a current layer before you hunt it. We have no pronghorn success figure for this unit that survives checking against Montana FWP's own harvest and hunter counts, and we would rather say so than print a statewide average as though it were measured here.

Montana rules that decide your day

Summarised from FWP regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Montana has no general off-road retrieval allowance; travel stays on open routes.

Tagging

Validate the tag and attach it to the carcass before moving the animal.

Leaving meat

Wasting game meat is illegal.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No discharging a firearm within 150 yards of an occupied dwelling without permission, and no shooting from or across a public road.

Antelope: where to put the shot

Broadside, straight up the front leg, a third of the way into the body. Pronghorn are shallow-chested and the lungs sit forward.

Shots to refuse

Range it, then range it again. Open country makes 400 yards look like 250.
Wait for the buck to stop. Nobody kills a running pronghorn cleanly on purpose.
Mind the backdrop. A miss carries a long way across a flat.

Plan the carry: roughly 30– 45 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — one large cooler with ice already in it. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

Antelope Success Rates

Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no pronghorn row for unit A319 that we can read back to this unit on its own.

Montana FWP's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.
