2021 MPG Ranch Big Game Survey

MPG Ranch serves as important year-round range for several species of big game. Winter is a particularly important time in the life cycle of big game. They choose expansive, quiet, low elevation landscapes of open space to spend the winter. As winter places a chokehold on Montana and big game animals seek out their winter range, MPG Ranch biologists take advantage of this behavior to count them.
