This large district is found in Southwest Montana and make up a large portion of the area. Several notable mountain ranges are found within the unit including the Greenhorn and Gravelly ranges to the east and the Blacktail and Ruby Mountain ranges to the west. This area provides good public access throughout and has a stable antelope population. There are a lot of areas that allow great spot and stalk hunting opportunities with chances at mature antelope bucks.
Antelope populations have declined over the past several years, but are beginning to come back. There has been good fawn recruitment in recent years which has helped with the overall population. Public access is good with BLM, state and Block Management properties throughout the area.
