This is a triangle shaped unit, starting at Kettle Falls on the south point up to the Canadian border. Unit 105 falls within District 1 in the northeastern corner of the state and is comprised of 7 game management units. Four mountain ranges dominate the district: Selkirk, Calispell, Huckleberry and Kettle, with the highest point at just over 7,300-ft in elevation. Columbia River watershed is drained by the Pend Oreille, Colville, Kettle and Columbia Rivers, and includes Lake Roosevelt. Over one third of the district is public land and predominantly national forest. Timber companies are the largest private landholders and often open land to hunters who gain written permission from the manager. The northern interior of this unit consists of Colville National Forest and a bit of state and BLM land. Colville National Forest has a good series of trails and roads, however there are a few private land locked sections, so keep your GPS on. The southern tip of Kelly Hill is Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area at 1,400-ft in elevation; from there about half way north through the unit is basically all private. There is way more open terrain here than in the northern portion, with very few scattered squares of state land. Plan on spending your summers fishing and hiking Colville National Forest; your time spent in this backcountry won’t be wasted when you pitch up during hunting season.

This area is fairly easy to figure out. Logged areas within the national forest have been productive; work the edges in the morning and the evening. The 2018 fire season produced a big burn along the Canadian border in Colville National Forest.
