Sitting in north central Montana east of the Rocky Mountain, nearly all this ground is farmed as it sits in the golden triangle of wheat and other dry land farming crops common to Montana. There is very little topography other than some breaks country found along major river and creeks.

This hunting district isn't really a popular choice for most deer hunters as those hunting up in this part of the state stick to the Sweetgrass Hills district or higher up on the Marias River. Both mule deer and whitetail can be found throughout this district. There is limited access and virtually no elk. The minimal pressure is about the best thing to say about this district. The key to success in this area generally comes down to scouting.

This is farm country. Some river breaks are available but the majority is in crop production including much of the state ground under lease and is generally flat. Major topography is nonexistent.

Public ground is minimal though a very large tract of publicly accessible private land is available through Montana's Block Management Program in the northern end of the unit. With this being the major block of public ground, pressure here is significant. Very little BLM and no Forest Service exists within this unit. Additional Block Management areas are generally available but may change year to year. Numerous county roads checkerboard nearly all of the unit. The Brinkman Game Preserve is in this unit which allows archery hunting for deer.

Wheat and barley are your main types of vegetation. On CRP or unleased state ground native and invasive grasses dominate. Some sagebrush is present but in very light coverage and finding a tree other than ornamentals and wind breaks around ranch houses is the highlight of the day.

Conrad, Shelby, Fort Benton, Chester and Great Falls all offer lodging and amenities. Camping is available on some state ground, and in the recreation areas around Tiber Reservoir and the Marias River.
