Montana Deer Hunting by County

Montana reports its deer harvest by management unit rather than by county, so county-level harvest totals aren't available here. Public land and terrain are still broken out by county below.

See Montana season dates or the Montana wildlife agency for unit-level harvest data.

Montana publishes deer harvest by hunting district, not by county, so these are statewide totals — not a county figure. Figures cover mule & white-tailed deer. Source: Montana FWP.
