This is a very large district that lies between the Beartooth Mountains and I-90 in south central Montana. The bulk of this area is riparian cattle country and farmland, with very few public hunting opportunities. Elk hunting in the district is available with limited entry archery and rifle tags, while deer hunting is available on a general tag.

Elk numbers in this district are over objective due to the large amount of private land and limited harvest. Quality bulls are often seen on private lands, but are typically unavailable to the hunting public. There are several Block Management Areas in the district that provide good hunting opportunities for deer.

This district follows along the Yellowstone River from Laurel to Reed Point, and stretches south through broken riparian pastures and farmland. The entire district is made up of rolling hills and prairies that are broken up by small creeks and large rivers flowing out of the Beartooth Mountains. Steep, short, tight draws are commonly found running down into the rivers and streams.

Public access is very poor throughout this district. There are roads and small towns throughout this area, but most of the big game animals in this district reside on private land with very little hunting access. Block Management provides the bulk of public hunting opportunity in this district.

This district is largely high open prairie cattle country. Giant grassy rolling pastures are broken up by sparse ponderosa pine timber pockets along ridge tops and north facing slopes. Several river bottoms wind through the area with cottonwood trees and willow islands providing the cover, and irrigated crops providing the forage. Dryland hay and cattle pastures are found throughout.

Due to its proximity to the interstate and the Beartooth Mountains, this district offers a variety of options. Billings is the main hub on the northeast corner of the district and provides everything from hunting supplies to lodging. There are several campgrounds along the Yellowstone and Stillwater Rivers. The Beartooth Mountains to the south provide a lot of good public camping opportunities with fantastic scenery.
