This district is located in northeastern Montana. It is north of the Missouri River and the northern boundary is Canada. The Fort Peck Indian Reservation lies on the southern end of the district and is closed to hunting. The antelope are scattered throughout this district on a mix of private, public and state ground.
Good populations of antelope can be found here but herds tend to be widespread throughout the district. Hunters may need to put on a lot of boot and vehicle miles to locate animals.
This district is mostly rolling grassland hills and a mix of CRP with dry land farming scattered throughout the district. As you travel south you get into rougher terrain. There are areas of broken terrain scattered throughout the western half of the district. There are streams, coulees and drainages that cut through the district and can be used for stalking purposes.
Most of the district is a mix of various grasses and forbs along with silver sage and cactus. Some of the streams and creeks have agriculture fields adjacent to them. There is a lot of dry land farming and CRP stands scattered throughout the district, with a lot more cropland the farther east you go in the district.
Highway 2 runs the entire length of the southern boundary. Highways 13 and 24 run the length of the district from north to south. Gravel county roads run throughout the area. Access too many of the large private lands can be difficult, but there are state sections and BLM land scattered throughout the district. Several ranches are in the Block Management Program. Rain can make travel difficult, stay on gravel or pavement.
