Top Montana Public Land Elk Units · #9
Hunting District 310
Montana, USA
HD 310 is located in the Bridger Mountains just north of Bozeman. This unit is known for its steep, challenging terrain but also for consistent elk populations. It's largely within the Gallatin National Forest. Due to its proximity to Bozeman, it receives significant pressure, especially on weekends. However, determined hunters willing to climb and get off the main trails can find success. Elk often hold in dense timber and steep drainages. Early season (archery) can be good, and snow often pushes elk to accessible areas in the late season. General elk tag. Standard state hunting license and conservation stamp fees.
