Default Antelope in Milk River Nat Area or Pinhorn GR?

Hello Guys
I'm basically guaranteed an antelope tag this fall and I'm looking at hunting the Pinhorn Grazing Reserve and Milk River Natural Area south of Milk River. Does anyone know how access to the Milk River Nat Area is? I'm a foot hunter and I'm looking forward to getting deep into the grasslands and coulees looking for antelope.

I'd love to also rough camp in that area (no fire), does anyone know if you can do something like that in the Milk River Nat area? Info online seems spotty.

Town of milk river is a pretty good drive from the pinhorn.

I stayed at writing on stone provincial park a few years ago. It was a pretty dry year and that was the closest place I found to camp.

Camping in that area is a biatch and so is getting gas.
Probably best to pay a farmer to camp on his land and ...bring lots of fuel with you.

Try to check when cattle are coming out of the grazing areas to. I ran into that problem a few years ago they had a few grazing areas shut down for hunting opening few days because they were moving cattle.
