This hunt district consists of portions of Granite, Powell and Deer Lodge Counties near the community of Anaconda. Deerlodge National Forest includes miles of Forest Service roads suitable for passenger cars that reach many alpine lakes and ridges so except high recreational use early in the fall. Most of the eastern half of the district is made up of private lands.

Look for whitetails along Warm Springs and Modesty Creek, mule deer up on Thornton Ridge or on the slopes above Foster Creek and bulls along the North Fork Flint and Racetrack Creeks. A large network of Forest Service roads might mean you have to do some hiking to get away for other hunters during any season.

Twin Peaks at an elevation of 9,067 feet in the Flint Creek Range is the backdrop for many steep ridges, deep gulches, fast flowing drainages and pristine alpine lakes. Some of the lakes that sit above 7,500 feet are Hunters, Green, Meadow and Racetrack. They are surrounded by large meadows and marshy areas. Drainages include Lost, Springs, Modesty and Foster that flow eastward towards the Clark Fork. North Fork Flint Creek flows along the western edge of the district.

Deerlodge National Forest has a Forest Service road system that leads to many saddles, ridges and alpine lakes allowing for many different recreational users. Modesty Creek Road is noted as suitable for passenger cars. Heavy snow or rain can make some of these roads difficult on travel even with a four-wheel drive vehicle.

Alpine areas below Twin Peaks consist of small lakes, grassy meadows and stands of fir. On talus slopes there are lichens and moss clinging to any available surface. Headwaters of drainages are lined with patches of willows, wildflowers and grass. Once the elevation begins to drop thick stands of spruce, fir, lodgepole pine and ponderosa pine cover both south and north facing slopes. Closer to foothills and open rolling hills and flats mountain shrubs like bitterbrush, mountain mahogany, and rabbitbrush blend in with groves of aspen until the valley floor is reached. The valleys have areas of sagebrush, short grasses, cottonwood and willows lining creek bottoms and irrigated crops.

Deerlodge National Forest limits camping to 16 consecutive days. About 25 miles to the southeast is the city of Butte which offers a wide variety of motels, hotels, restaurants and cafes, regional medical care, airport and 24 hour service stations. Anacaona and Deer Lodge provide a limited number of motels, cafés and restaurants and service stations.
