This district is located in the southwest part of the state, covering the eastern Tobacco Root Mountain range. The Tobacco Roots lie south of the Jefferson River and north west of Ennis, and are comprised of steep and rugged terrain. Elk and whitetail deer are numerous in this district and trophy quality is good for a general tag area. Elk and deer spend the winter on private lands for the most part and are largely unavailable during the rifle season to most hunters. Bull harvests are limited to brow-tined bulls which makes for an older age class in this general district.

The Jefferson River on the perimeter of this district is known for producing great numbers of whitetail deer and some good trophy bucks. The archery elk hunt is very good here on a general tag. Thick timber, rugged terrain, private land wintering grounds and a brow-tined bull only regulation creates an older age class in this district where trophy bulls can be had. Mule deer numbers are down in this district and most harvest occurs on private lands with restricted public access.
