Ear Mountain Wildlife Management Area

Ear Mountain
Ear Mountain Wildlife Management Area (WMA) was established in 1976. The WMA was purchased to provide access to federally managed lands along the Rocky Mountain Front and sustain and protect wildlife habitat with special emphasis on winter range habitat for mule deer and bighorn sheep. The WMA lies on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountain Front and has diverse intermountain foothill grassland habitat composed of significant grass range, timber, browse meadows, riparian zones and rocky and barren ground.
