Miles City is in Region 7. It's nowhere near District 1 which is in the northwest corner of Montana. I used to hunt antelope north of Miles City and for the most part it is wide open prairie country. Other than a few isolated pockets here and there you aren't likely to find any lions at all in most of that country. There's piles of coyotes but not much else for predators.

I think you need to get some details from your buddy. Regions 6 and 7 cover all of eastern Montana. Region 6 is northeastern Montana and it's largely prairie country. Also find out what "a lot of land" is? In eastern Montana land is usually measured in sections (square miles) and it takes quite a few to have a huntable area. Not trying to rain on you parade. I've just seen quite a few people from back east get all kinds of excited because they had private access to 50 acres near Jordan or Ingomar, and they don't realize that in Montana you can hunt out an area that size in about 12 seconds. If I was you I would get some location details from your buddy, check the FWP website, and then check Google Earth to see what the country is like.

Here's the link to lion distribution in Montana. Miles City is in Custer County. You can see that the lion country is all west of there, not north.
