This hunting district is found in the extreme northwest corner of the state and features some incredible scenery and bear hunting. This region, commonly referred to as “the Yaak” is densely vegetated, making glassing nearly impossible in some areas. The area mainly consists of publicly accessible lands, with plenty of areas for backcountry hunters to get lost. A fairly large population of grizzly bears will be found here and proper precautions will need to be exercised.
Bear hunting has been great in this area for years thanks to a high population density and plenty of food sources to grow large animals.
Quick Tips
- Grizzlies are prevalent in this area, a sidearm or spray is recommended
- Clean campsites are a must when camping in bear country
- GPS, Maps, or a compass are highly recommended
- Off trail/road travel can be difficult due to vegetation and terrain steepness
