This hunting district is found in northwest Montana along the Canadian border and just west of Glacier National Park (GNP). This area features some extremely steep terrain, many mountain lakes, and some breath taking views. Hunting success has taken a massive dip in recent years with heavy predation from Grizzlies and Wolves moving out of GNP. This area still sees a fairly healthy whitetail population, but hunters looking to pursue mule deer or elk will find much greater success in adjoining units. Grizzlies are present in this area so precautions need to be taken.
Predation problems on ungulates continues to be a persistent problem in this area and will likely continue to be a problem for the coming years.
Quick Tips
- Focus on roadless areas away from trailheads and you will encounter very little hunting pressure
- Heavy predator presence
- Average age of mule deer and elk will be very low as will the odds of success
- Tire chains recommended with the elevation and location of this hunting district
- Grizzly encounters likely and proper precautions need to be taken
