Hunting

A dog named Froid. Steve and Jody Porter arrive for hunting season with Froid, their golden retriever.

Froid has a well-earned reputation of being “pheasant hunter paradise.”  Not only are the colorful birds plentiful, but there’s also the challenge of bagging sharp-tail grouse, geese, sandhill cranes and ducks. The thrill of the hunt or of just watching your dog work will stir the passion and adrenalin of the most avid as well as the occasional hunter in pheasant territory. 

Whitetail deer populate the hills and fields, and there are a few trophy animals to stalk. This part of the state includes many acres of block management, making it very hunter-friendly.  Come and enjoy the crisp fall mornings and the excitement of the hunt.  And the town rolls out the red carpet annually in October with “Hunter Feeds” every night during Hunter Appreciation Week. 

Fishing

If your idea of fun is a pole in your hand and bait on your hook, it’s a short drive to Medicine Lake to try and land a feisty Northern Pike. Even cold Montana winters don’t stop the passionate fisherman. You often see ice houses on the frozen lakes with hardy souls inside intent on spearing or hooking the “big one.” Travel up the road a piece and enjoy fishing for perch or walleye at Bolster Dam in Plentywood. And to the south, the beautiful Missouri River is home to walleye, catfish, sauger, ling, Northern pike and goldeyes. No crowds--- just you and the fish!
