At a Glance
This hunting district, found in northeastern Montana, offers good mule deer and whitetail hunting opportunities with decent numbers of mature bucks being taken every year. The area is made up almost entirely of agricultural lands and some sporadic coulees with very little public lands available to hunt. Fortunately, large tracts of private lands are enrolled in the Block Management program allowing public access for hunters. While this hunting district does offer a general elk season the odds of actually finding elk, let alone filling the tag, will be virtually nonexistent.
Good mule deer and whitetail hunting will be found here, but elk hunters will want to focus their attention on surrounding areas. Deer herds are rebounding greatly after a big winter kill off and EHD decimated populations. The last few seasons have seen large increases in the amount of deer being taken.
Quick Tips
- BLM, Forest Service and BMA maps recommended as well as land ownership cards for GPS units to aid in deciphering public from private access
- Tire chains recommended as this area can experience heavy snow at times as well as large wind drifts
- Concentrate on connecting strips of land to navigate yourself into more secluded areas
