Antelope Hunting in Unit A536
Unit A536 lies in Musselshell and Petroleum counties. Montana FWP publishes no per-unit pronghorn success figure we can verify for this unit. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.
Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit A536
Montana FWP draws an exact line around unit A536 and says nothing about where the pronghorn stand inside it. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Musselshell and Petroleum counties.
What bounds unit A536
Montana FWP draws unit A536 in Musselshell and Petroleum counties with a boundary that runs on US Highway 87, Route 244, State Route 200 and US Highway 12, and on Musselshell River, 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: Kilby Butte, Big Wall and Rattlesnake Butte
Named high points inside the unit include Kilby Butte at 3,580 feet, Big Wall at 3,537 feet and Rattlesnake Butte at 3,476 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn live in the open and trust their eyes, which is the whole problem.
Holding ground: Wilson Coulee, Howard Coulee and Butts Coulee
Below them sit Wilson Coulee at 2,834 feet, Howard Coulee at 2,822 feet, Butts Coulee at 2,817 feet, Seventynine Coulee at 2,765 feet and Salt Sage Coulee at 2,763 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.

Antelope Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no pronghorn row for unit A536 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) |

| Rifle — General either sex (nonresident) | 22 | 81 | 27.2% | — |
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 A536. 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.
