East Fork Bitterroot sits north and west of the Continental Divide and includes portions of Bitterroot National Forest, Sula State Forest and Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness all providing thousands of acres of public lands. Mountain passes crosses by major highways include Skalkaho Pass in the north and Chief Joseph Pass in the south. Resident only draw for limited license antlered bull.

Bulls might be found anywhere in the district. A 168” Boone and Crockett bulls was harvested in 2004 but no other bulls have been entered into the record book before or since. Breeding season gives tag holders an opportunity to hunt during the rut. Scout in early September looking for areas frequented by cows. Come season bulls will be looking for these same cows to pass on their genes. Note; much of the land along the Bitterroot is private so ask for permission to access early in the year.
