This district sits in portions of Granite and Missoula Counties and has it beginning at Skalkaho Pass along Montana Route 38 then heads north following the Sapphire Mountains. Thousands of acres of public lands are provided by Lolo and Deerlodge National Forest, BLM and hundreds of acres on Bohrnsen Ranch and Black Pine Ridge Block Management Areas. Mule deer, elk and whitetail deer are found within the National Forest and Block Management Areas.

Whitetails like the river and creeks bottoms made up of Upper Willow, Ranch and Rock Creeks. The mature bucks have home ranges and core areas that they use on a daily basis. Scout looking for heavy cover, travel corridors and feeding areas then be patient. Bulls like isolated places that provide cool cover, ample water and large amounts of forage.
