Hunt District 122 includes the majority of the Thompson River drainage in western Montana. Hunters have the opportunity to hunt elk and deer during the same season with general licenses.

Elk and deer populations in this area were low but have grown, giving hunters the opportunity to harvest a mature bull or buck. The terrain is thick, with openings generally being logging units, burn scars and some open, grassy meadows. Access in this area is very good, with the majority of the district in part of the Lolo National Forest or Plum Creek Timberland. Hunting pressure can be high, but there is a lot of public land to hunt on.
