Montana wildlife officials are currently conducting aerial surveys to determine antelope populations. Hunting tag results will be released once biologists finish these counts and establish final quotas in late July.

Biologists are currently conducting aerial surveys because antelope are easier to count in the summer than during the winter. These flights help track population trends and fawn survival to ensure the most accurate data for the upcoming fall hunting season. Tag results are being held until quota recommendations are finalized at the end of July.
