This hunting district is found in west central Montana along the Idaho and Montana border. The unit encompasses a large area and is comprised of mostly public land, giving ample amounts of opportunity to any hunter. Hunters will find very little in the way of natural openings, avalanche slides, or meadows and will instead be spending the bulk of their time hunting the bears in the area’s many logging clear cuts. While most bear hunting will be conducted from closed logging roads, the terrain can be ruthless when traveling cross country. Steep, deep draws and dense vegetation can be very mentally taxing.
This hunting district generally flies under the radar, but there is a good population of bears with great opportunities at above average animals.
