This district lies in west central Montana stretching from the city of Boulder, south until it reaches I-90 and Whitehall. This area is littered with several types of land including BLM, state, federal and private. Extensive mining and logging operations have left road systems throughout the district. Several tracts of private lands are under Montana’s Block Management Area (BMA) program allowing access for hunters.

While this is not an over the top district in regards to trophy quality, it can provide a good experience for someone looking to fill their freezer. The main attraction will be migrating elk herds that move in from surrounding districts later in the year as the snow falls. With most of harvests being cows and young bulls hunters looking for trophy quality animals will want to look elsewhere. As with a lot of the state, mule deer populations in this district have been struggling.
