Montana Hunts

Waterfowl

Experience Montana’s Late-Season Waterfowl

Waterfowl hunting on the Missouri River
The Pursuit

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.
