So, what units in Montana have the best potential for trophy quality antelope?

Lol, im not asking for anybodies hunting spot, im just asking statistically speaking which units produce the most b&c pronghorn.

I was able to research the info faster than I could read the posts. A tad bit of effort and you’ll have the answer you’re looking for. Use internet search function. Good luck!

MT DNR site, P&Y, B&C and GoHunt will give you counties with the highest entries for trophy animals. Which, however is a tad misleading as some will be a lot of private which you can only enter with big $$$. Research which units have the most harvest #'s over an X number of years and find a good spot for opportunity and you'll be able to yank a P&Y out pretty easily after that.

just wondering does anyone think 243 is enough for an antelope cause i want to beable to use a small light gun.

Anything centerfire is likely big enough for pronghorn. They are not very durable. Don't be crazy with range using smaller rounds and get a good bullet and center punch, you'll be okay.

Yes .243 is sufficient for antelope

Depends what you mean by “trophy quality”. If a guaranteed booner spotting is what you’re after I’d look to another state. Personally, I’d pursue a quality experience with lots of mature buck sighting with good public access, in which case region 7 units have the highest densities of antelope.

Yea, we don't have many "trophy" antelope in MT. We do have a fair # of antelope tho

Montana’s best trophy antelope units are, without a doubt, found in Wyoming.

Many Pope and young antelope live in Montana. Very very few Boone and Crockett ones live here. As stated earlier if your looking for record book buck another state might be a better choice for Boone and Crockett.

Try Arizona Or NM if you want a book buck. Montana is more of an opportunity state
