Waterfowl hunting can be excellent on the wetlands within War Horse National Wildlife Refuge. Hunters should check carefully before planning a trip here. During drought the wetlands dry up in the fall, and the waterfowl hunting is nonexistent. These areas do offer public hunting for all species open during Montana seasons, so there are opportunities to hunt even in dry years. The best bet is for sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse that live in the grasslands along the wetlands. Hunters should plan on covering a lot of terrain to find these birds, which can be scattered over large areas. The use of well-trained dogs helps a great deal in covering the vast terrain in these areas.
