This hunting district is found in central Montana, just south of Helena. Situated along Canyon Ferry Reservoir, this area is known for good black bear hunting and presents good opportunity for any type of hunter. For those looking to escape the crowds, the Gates of the Mountain Wilderness Area along the northern end of the unit can provide some great remote hunting opportunities.
