Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Unit S122
Montana FWP's material on unit S122 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its bighorn sheep live. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Sanders County.
The lines of the unit: Miller Creek, Combest Peak and Greenwood Hill
Montana FWP draws unit S122 in Sanders County with a boundary that runs on State Route 135, USFS Trail 205, USFS Trail 404 and USFS Trail 1130, and on Miller Creek, Combest Peak, Greenwood Hill and Penrose Peak, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. 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: Cherry Peak, Coeur d'Alene Mountains and Penrose Peak
Named high points inside the unit include Cherry Peak at 7,350 feet, Coeur d'Alene Mountains at 7,338 feet, Penrose Peak at 7,214 feet, Eddy Mountain at 6,947 feet and Patricks Knob at 6,819 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Sheep on lower country still need rock, and on a desert unit the rock is the whole hunt.
Holding ground: Poacher Gulch
Below them sit Poacher Gulch at 2,865 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Bighorn Sheep Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no bighorn sheep row for unit S122 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.
Bighorn Sheep Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Rifle — General either sex (nonresident) | 1 | 498 | 0.2% | — |
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 bighorn sheep record we can tie to unit S122. 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.
