This district runs from West Glacier south along the South Fork Flathead River towards Bunker Creek some 60 miles away. Situated next to the Bob Marshall and Great Bear Wilderness areas, this unit provides hundreds of square miles of publically accessible hunting grounds. Road access is somewhat limited here and most hunts will take place in close proximity to these unless hunters have access to livestock.
Sufficient access and hundreds of square miles of National Forest and wilderness areas in vertical and heavily forested terrain make this a very challenging hunt. Flathead County has many Shiras bulls above the Boone and Crockett minimum of 140”. This is grizzly bear country so be prepared. Late September and into October is the breeding season so take advantage of aggressive bulls by calling near areas frequented by cows.
