This hunting district is found in central Montana and is home to the Big Snowy Mountains. Good bears can be found here, but finding public land to hunt can be challenging. A fair amount of roadless country is available to hunt in the Big Snowys, but the remainder of the district is sparsely checker boarded in small parcels of public. This area is largely dominated in prairie land, giving hunters a big advantage when it comes to glassing feeding bears. Good adventures can be found when backpacking into some of the small islands of high country, but most hunters will likely want to concentrate efforts on surrounding units based off of opportunity alone.
