At a Glance
This large district is found in Southwest Montana and make up a large portion of the area. Several notable mountain ranges are found within the unit including the Greenhorn and Gravelly ranges. Elk numbers in this area are among the highest in the state. Whitetail deer are found in great numbers here as well, while some mule deer are available although their numbers are low.
This area has become popular for elk hunters on a general tag due to the high numbers of elk and relative ease of access. Hunter congestion can make for a very frustrating hunt in this area at times and hunters will need to work hard to distance themselves. Elk will constantly be on the move as a result of hunting pressure which creates a scenario where any hunter can get lucky and bump into elk on a given day. A few good bulls are killed every year in the region.
