Located in the northcentral Montana, this hunt district is bordered to the east by the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. It covers from Highway 2 north to the Canadian border, then east for approximately 75 miles to Joplin. It is characterized by dry land farming, oil and gas production and the prominent Sweetgrass Hills.

With its lack of proximity to major cities and general lack of top end antelope, most hunters here either have access to private land or combine the tag with another hunt. A small die-off did reduce populations, but did not crush the area.

The southern 2/3rds of this unit is farm and oil/gas country. Up towards the Canadian border it becomes less populated and farmed. The major topographic feature is the Sweetgrass Hills, but most antelope are found in the lower elevations.

Wheat and barley are the main vegetation types found in this area. On CRP or unleased state ground, native and invasive grasses dominate the area. Some sagebrush is present but in very light coverage. The Sweetgrass Hills are timbered and rise out of the flat ground.

Public ground is minimal in large blocks but there are some small state parcels scattered throughout the area. The Sweetgrass Hills area is managed by the BLM. A few Block Management areas are available but may change year to year. Numerous county roads checkerboard nearly all of the unit.

Shelby and Chester offer lodging and amenities. Camping is available on state ground in some instances and also on the BLM ground, but most hunters typically stay in the towns mentioned.
