Bordering Canada, this hunting district follows the North Fork of the Flathead River and is located west of Glacier National Park. This remote hunting area with sparse human population creates a true backcountry type feel with the aid of access roads in some areas. Great hunting experience for people willing to put their time into the hunt.
Great area for the backpack hunter, but there are a lot of wolves and grizzly bears. Be prepared and use caution. A realistic goal would be finding a bull with a spread nearing 40 inches and an average harvest age of 5.5-7.5 years old. The district is very heavily forested and can cause some frustration for hunters not used to hunting in this vegetation type.
Quick Tips
- Limited cell phone service
- Tire chains late in the season dependent on snow accumulation
- If camping maintain a clean camp area, many black and some grizzly bears in the area
- Due to the dense forest cover, calling is an effective tactic
