AI Scout Preview

MT 201 — Terrain & Access MT 201 spans nearly 670,000 acres across a steep elevation gradient, from 2,513 ft in lower drainages to over 9,100 ft in alpine terrain. With nearly three-quarters of the unit on public land, access is straightforward for hunters comfortable with the rugged topography. The mix of lower-elevation foothill habitat and high-country ridge systems supports both mule deer and whitetail populations across diverse cover types. Trophy Potential The counties overlapping MT 201—particularly Missoula County, which comprises 76% of the unit—hold a strong historical record of trophy-class mule deer.
