Antelope Hunting in Unit A576
Unit A576 lies in Golden Valley, Stillwater, Sweet Grass, Wheatland and Musselshell 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 A576
What Montana FWP publishes for unit A576 is a boundary, not a pronghorn map. 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 Golden Valley, Stillwater, Sweet Grass, Wheatland and Musselshell counties.
The lines of the unit: Yellowstone River and Sweet Grass Creek
Montana FWP draws unit A576 in Golden Valley, Stillwater, Sweet Grass, Wheatland and Musselshell counties with a boundary that runs on US Highway 12, US Highway 87, Interstate 90 and US Highway 191, and on Yellowstone River and Sweet Grass Creek, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. 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: Cayuse Hills, Lone Indian Butte and Choo-heh-meen Hills
Named high points inside the unit include Cayuse Hills at 5,385 feet, Lone Indian Butte at 5,193 feet, Choo-heh-meen Hills at 5,090 feet, West Bench at 5,003 feet and The Divide at 4,984 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: Hoppy Gulch, Russell Gulch and Busteed Hill
Below them sit Hoppy Gulch at 4,623 feet, Russell Gulch at 4,583 feet, Busteed Hill at 4,514 feet, The Madison at 4,501 feet and Wullum Gulch at 4,419 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: Cottonwood Springs
Named sources include Cottonwood Springs. 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 A576 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) | 104 | 308 | 33.8% | — |
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 A576. 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.
