Hunting the Missouri Breaks

This 700 special draw area, holds world class trophy elk, along with mule deer, whitetail, and antelope. Many sportsmen wait 5-10 years or more to have the chance to hunt trophy elk in this area. The Merriam’s turkey represents one of Montana’s most prized upland game birds and is also found right here in Garfield County.

The Hell Creek Formation is an extensively studied geological formation known for some of the best dinosaur fossil attractions in the world, and is exposed in many areas near Jordan, Montana.
