Moose Hunting in Unit M320
Unit M320 lies in Madison and Jefferson counties. Montana FWP publishes no per-unit Shiras moose success figure we can verify for this unit. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.
Where to Find Shiras Moose in Unit M320
Montana FWP draws an exact line around unit M320 and says nothing about where the Shiras moose stand inside it. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Madison and Jefferson counties.
What bounds unit M320
Montana FWP draws unit M320 in Madison and Jefferson counties with a boundary that runs on Highway 287, Route 41, Route 55 and Interstate 90, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.
High ground inside the line: Hollowtop Mountain, Granite Peak and Mount Jefferson
Named high points inside the unit include Hollowtop Mountain at 10,599 feet, Granite Peak at 10,547 feet, Mount Jefferson at 10,483 feet, Branham Peaks at 10,450 feet and Lakeshore Mountain at 10,425 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Moose want willow, water and shade, and they rarely leave the drainage that has all three.
Holding ground: Buttertly Flats, Windy Pass and Montana Gulch
Below them sit Buttertly Flats at 8,186 feet, Windy Pass at 8,036 feet, Montana Gulch at 7,671 feet, Tom Graham Pass at 7,575 feet and Independence Gulch at 7,475 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: Guymon Spring, Era Spring and Mud Spring
Named sources include Guymon Spring, Era Spring, Mud Spring, Splan Springs, Westphal Spring and Lower Gooseberry Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Moose Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no Shiras moose row for unit M320 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.
Moose Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Rifle — General either sex (nonresident) | 1 | 15 | 6.7% | — |
Data from 2025 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 Shiras moose record we can tie to unit M320. 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.
