The Blackfoot River WMA provides year-round habitat for moose. Elk and mule deer frequently use the WMA in the spring, summer and fall.
Smaller mammal species are year long residents, including badger, striped skunk, weasel, snowshoe hare, chipmunk, porcupine, and coyote.
Many species of waterfowl, including mallards, teal, gadwall, pintail, widgeon, and Canada geese nest and rear their young on the Blackfoot River WMA.
Bald and golden eagles, Swainson’s hawk, red-tailed hawk, rough-legged hawk, and northern harrier also frequent the area.
Deer and elk hunting are available on Blackfoot River WMA lands. Upland game bird hunting for blue and ruffed grouse can be good in years of high production. Waterfowl hunting for Canada geese and ducks is also available.
