Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit A430
Montana FWP draws an exact line around unit A430 and says nothing about where the pronghorn stand inside it. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Judith Basin, Fergus and Cascade counties.
The lines of the unit: Judith Basin, Judith-Musselshell River Divide and Judith-Smith River Divide
Montana FWP draws unit A430 in Judith Basin, Fergus and Cascade counties with a boundary that runs on US Highway 87, US Highway 191 and US Highway 89, and on Judith Basin, Judith-Musselshell River Divide, Judith-Smith River Divide and Kings Hill, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.
High ground inside the line: Big Baldy Mountain, Yogo Peak and Long Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Big Baldy Mountain at 9,178 feet, Yogo Peak at 8,815 feet, Long Mountain at 8,611 feet, Prospect Ridge at 8,377 feet and Barker Mountain at 8,298 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: Lead Gulch, Sixteen Color Gulch and Boulder Gulch
Below them sit Lead Gulch at 6,530 feet, Sixteen Color Gulch at 6,420 feet, Boulder Gulch at 6,370 feet, Bear Park at 6,337 feet and Flat Gulch at 6,311 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.
Water: Currie Spring, Memorial Falls and Isaac Walton Spring
Named sources include Currie Spring, Memorial Falls and Isaac Walton Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Antelope Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no pronghorn row for unit A430 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.
Antelope Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |

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 A430. 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.
