Montana Elk Unit 525

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Montana Game Management Unit 525.

Montana's Hunting District 525 is a vertical gauntlet where high-plains sage breaks roll up into timbered ridges and alpine spines, with valley floors near 4,800 feet climbing past 9,500 feet and often 2,500 feet of relief gained in under two horizontal miles. Elk shift with the season here, staging on shaded north benches and creek heads in the early heat, then dropping to south-facing grass and the sage-juniper interface once snow stacks up. Our 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.
