This district is located in the north central part of Montana. This large and desolate area is sandwiched between Montana Highway 2 on the south boundary and the Canada-US border on the north. Mule deer and whitetail can be found in most areas of the district, but are concentrated around private agricultural fields and brush covered creek beds. Although the majority of suitable hunting habitat is on private land, access can be very good for the friendly hunter willing to knock on some doors and ask permission.
This is not considered a trophy destination for deer or elk, but hunters willing to put in some time and effort harvest good quality animals every year. Quality whitetail bucks are taken every year along the Milk River, which has some large portions of public land in the northern part of the district.
