This hunting district is found in east central Montana and on the northern side of Miles City. This area is checkerboarded with state, BLM, and private lands making access difficult, yet many ranches are enrolled in Montana’s Block Management program providing hunters access to private lands. Hunters will find good trophy potentials on mule deer and whitetail with the average elk generally taken being considered a raghorn. Competition will be stiff, but the game numbers are large, and the savvy hunter will find little problem in filling a tag. Elk hunting for branch antlered bulls is done with a permit only on the south western corner of the district yet spikes and cows can be taken on a general tag unit wide.

This district is seeing some great deer after rebounding from several harsh winters, and an EHD breakout in recent years. Hunters numbers are on the rise but the crowds can still be avoided and a great hunt can still be had.
