Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit A322
Montana FWP draws an exact line around unit A322 and says nothing about where the pronghorn 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 Madison and Beaverhead counties.
The lines of the unit: Virginia City Pass, Madison-Ruby River Watershed Divide and Madison River
Montana FWP draws unit A322 in Madison and Beaverhead counties with a boundary that runs on Highway 287, USFS Road 290, USFS Road 628 and Interstate 15, and on Virginia City Pass, Madison-Ruby River Watershed Divide, Madison River and Lake Creek, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Sunset Peak, Hogback Mountain and Black Butte
Named high points inside the unit include Sunset Peak at 10,565 feet, Hogback Mountain at 10,561 feet, Black Butte at 10,521 feet, Olson Peak at 10,455 feet and Sliderock Mountain at 10,429 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: Eureka Basin, Maverick Basin and Price-Peet Divide
Below them sit Eureka Basin at 8,007 feet, Maverick Basin at 7,836 feet, Price-Peet Divide at 7,685 feet, Pete Creek Divide at 7,650 feet and Snowshoe Pass at 7,546 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.
Water: Kelly Spring, Timber Creek Spring and Pole Patch Spring
Named sources include Kelly Spring, Timber Creek Spring, Pole Patch Spring, Mud Spring, Warm Springs and Caldwell Springs. 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 A322 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 (nonresident) | 27 | 511 | 5.3% | — |
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 A322. 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.
