This district is one of the more legendary and historic areas in the state of Montana for the true backcountry hunter. Lying just west of Choteau, in Teton county, this district encompasses a large portion of the historic Bob Marshall Wilderness west of the Continental Divide. The eastern portion of the district is defined by the sentinel mountain walls known as the Rocky Mountain Front, an area known for producing giant mule deer, bull elk and bighorn sheep. This is a district that offers excellent opportunity for hunters looking for a backcountry adventure in classic high country.

Quality deer and elk can be accessed in this district for the public land hunter willing to backpack or ride horseback into the remote backcountry of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Archery elk hunting east of the Sun River Game Preserve can be very productive in September, and when weather gets nasty late in the rifle season the front country can produce some outstanding bulls migrating to their winter range. The same is true for mule deer, early in the season check remote high country basins, and later in the season hunt the front country to the east along the edges of large private tracts of land to find a trophy buck migrating out of the backcountry to his winter range in the lower elevation private grounds.
