This hunting district is found in west central Montana on the eastern side of the town of Missoula. Because of its close proximity to a large city this area will see heavy numbers of hunters. This district does feature some difficult terrain to traverse, yet logging or mining roads are everywhere and can help with covering ground. Whitetail and elk can be hunted on a general tag but those wishing to hunt mule deer will need to apply for an unlimited quota permit. The average age class of animals found in this district will be very low thus bringing trophy potentials down to a very low quality.

This area consistently sees high numbers of hunters throughout the season. Most guys won't put in the effort to hike more than a mile off the road so willing hikers still have the opportunity to find unpressured deer and elk. Hunters looking to hunt trophy quality animals should look into different districts.
