Found in western Montana, this unit lies along the famed Clark Fork River and features great options for public access. Most of the valley bottoms near the river are comprised of private lands but the majority of the mountain areas and low creek bottoms are available to anyone. This area is heavily forrested and glassing opportunities can be hard to come by at times.
This district provides many options for different styles of hunting, lots of logging roads, along with some remote areas that are more difficult to access. The opportunity does exist to shoot a bull over 45+ inches, but a more realistic goal would be 40 inches or better.
