About this trip
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.

Ethical Harvest Philosophy
At Broken Plains, we value the animal before and after the hunt. We encourage every hunter to have a plan for:
- Meat transport
- Processing
- Hides and capes
If hunters cannot take their meat home, it will be processed at their expense and donated to those in need.
Our hunts center around respect, conservation, and full utilization of each animal harvested.
