Montana Elk Hunting Property For Sale offers a variety of options for buyers. Montana is one of the few states that have large populations of the Rocky Mountain elk. Montana has the largest migratory elk in the nation. It starts in Yellowstone National Park and heads well into the interior of Montana. Montana’s elk herds count approximately 160,000 animals.
Elk are located in many areas of Montana, but are primarily found in South Central, Southwest, and Northwest Montana. Southwest Montana’s Region 3 holds by far the most elk of any region in the state. Central and eastern Montana holds burgeoning elk populations as well, with Regions 4, 5, 6 and 7 all showing good populations. Western Montana’s Region 2 is a bit of a mixed bag, and northwest Montana’s Region 1 holds both the lowest elk numbers in the state.
Elk prefer mainly coniferous forests interspersed with natural or man-made openings (mountain meadows, grasslands, burns, and logged areas). Good winter range is critical for elk.
