Montana Elk Unit 240

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Montana Game Management Unit 240.

Unit 240 is a classic Bitterroot "wall and floor" puzzle for elk: a farmed valley floor along the Bitterroot River that rises abruptly into steep, glacially carved granite canyons on the Montana and Idaho divide, climbing from roughly 3,300 feet near Hamilton and Darby to over 10,000 feet at Trapper Peak. We map how perennial snowmelt creeks like Blodgett and Lost Horse funnel movement, where avalanche chutes and old burns feed animals, and where the hard private-to-public seam sits at the canyon mouths off Highway 93. The pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
