MT Mule Deer Unit 400
AI Scout Preview
MT 400 Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access MT 400 spans nearly 1.2 million acres across north-central Montana between 2,554 and 3,763 feet. Public land comprises just 13% of the unit—a significant constraint for unguided hunters. The low public-land ratio means most quality habitat is private; success depends heavily on access negotiation or outfitter relationships. Trophy Potential The counties overlapping MT 400 hold a modest trophy history. Record-book entries exist from all three overlapping counties, but the trend is declining: pre-2000 entries averaged notably higher than those from the 2010s, with recent years (2012–2016) showing reduced trophy quality..
