Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit A690
Montana FWP's material on unit A690 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 Hill, Blaine and Chouteau counties.
The lines of the unit: Marias River, Missouri River and Cow Creek
Montana FWP draws unit A690 in Hill, Blaine and Chouteau counties with a boundary that runs on US Highway 2 and Highway 2, and on Marias River, Missouri River, Cow Creek and Suction 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: Baldy Mountain, Wellen Peak and Little Joe Peak
Named high points inside the unit include Baldy Mountain at 6,901 feet, Wellen Peak at 6,366 feet, Little Joe Peak at 6,317 feet, Pecora Ridge at 6,238 feet and Black Mountain at 6,181 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: McDonald Basin, Wilson Desert and Blackie Coulee
Below them sit McDonald Basin at 4,276 feet, Wilson Desert at 4,200 feet, Blackie Coulee at 4,157 feet, Salt Coulee at 4,126 feet and Broughs Coulee at 4,096 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.

Antelope Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no pronghorn row for unit A690 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) | 26 | 222 | 11.7% | — |
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 A690. 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.
