Waterfowl
Experience Montana’s Late-Season Waterfowl

Broken Plains offers authentic Montana waterfowl hunting that is raw, rugged, and unforgettable. Hunt the Missouri River, surrounding reservoirs, and open fields from natural blinds, panel blinds, and A-frames. Early-season conditions often provide a mixed bag, but as winter sets in, the focus turns to mallards, goldeneye, and Canada geese.
With 13 miles of private Missouri River access and adjacent agricultural fields, our late-season hunting is unparalleled. When smaller waters freeze, birds concentrate on the open river, creating prime opportunities for an unforgettable Montana waterfowl experience.
