MT Mule Deer Unit 416

MT 416 — Terrain & Hunt Character Terrain & Access MT 416 spans 418,000 acres across a moderate elevation range (4,100–8,200 ft), mixing lower-elevation grassland and forest with high-country terrain. Just under half the unit sits on public land, requiring hunters to navigate checkerboard ownership and secure access agreements on private holdings. This mixed landscape supports both mule deer and whitetail populations across varied habitat zones. Trophy Potential Historical record-book entries from the county overlapping this unit are sparse and dated, with the most recent entries from the mid-1990s. This suggests trophy-class animals have been rare in recent decades..
