Available Montana Pronghorn Antelope Hunts --- Search HF Aventures
Montana is a great state to hunt antelope as there are a lot of tags, a long season, public land, and a lot of antelope. If you are only interested in a record book antelope, you need to find a private ranch that has been managed for big bucks or hunt another state. If you want a fun hunt with the potential for a good buck, Montana may just be your state.

The most popular hunt in the state among non-resident applicants has been the region 7 multi-unit 007-20 tag. New for 2024, this hunt has been split into two separate hunts. The 007-20 hunt will now only be valid in region 7 on the south side of the Yellowstone River. If you want to hunt region 7 on the north side of the Yellowstone, you will need to draw the 007-21 tag. The push for this change was to better distribute antelope hunting pressure throughout the southeast corner of the state. Antelope numbers in both areas are near historic averages with 007-21 sitting a little below and 007-20 a little above average populations.
If you are an archery antelope hunter, the 900-20 archery antelope tag may be one of best opportunity hunts in the West. This hunt is becoming more popular by the year among both resident and nonresident hunters. In 2023, non-resident draw odds with no points were 20%, with 1 point were 36%, with 2 points were 64%, and with 3 points were 85%. All applicants with 4 or more points were successful in the draw. Remember, Montana now uses a bonus point purchased at the time of application in the upcoming draw. This means if you have 1 bonus point before applying and purchase a point when you apply, you will go into the draw with 2 points. One of the best things about this hunt is that archery hunters who draw the 900-20 tag can hunt every unit in the state, with the exception of units 215-20, 291-20, and 313-20. The 900-20 archery season runs August 15-November 10, and all of the rifle season hunts run October 12-November 10. Hunters who draw a rifle antelope tag can also hunt during the regular archery antelope season within their unit beginning on September 7th if they buy the $10 bow and arrow license.

Montana’s 2023-2024 winter was very mild, and there has been no measurable winterkill reported in any region across the state. This will be a great year to have a tag in your pocket with plenty of antelope to hunt. If you’re looking for a fun antelope hunt with mostly average bucks, you should be applying or at least building points for the future. The application deadline for antelope is June 1st. With this deadline, you will also know if you drew your Montana deer tag. If you were successful in drawing a deer tag, you might as well apply for an antelope tag and make it a combo hunt.
