Located on the north side of the Missouri River Breaks, this district takes in some great sheep country. This area provides classic spot and stalk hunting with wide open terrain and high ridges that provide great glassing.

This district is producing some of the largest rams in the state and country. Some of the best access is from the Missouri River, which requires a boat. There are areas to hunt from road systems, but access can be frustrating.

The Missouri Breaks are known for really broken steep draws. On the northern half of the unit the terrain isn’t so broken, with larger plateaus and more gradual ridges and flats. On the southern end along the Missouri River the clay breaks can be very steep, and in places impassable.

This area has a lot of options for access. There are areas that have limited road access, and can provide a more remote hunting opportunity. There are other parts of the unit that are very good day hunting areas, where hunters can get 3-5 miles from road systems. River access is probably the best option, a boat allows the hunter to access most of the district which otherwise is inaccessible by vehicle.

The vegetation is mainly Ponderosa pine, Juniper and Douglas fir on north and east slopes and in many of the draws. The ridges along with south and west slopes consist of sagebrush and grass and are usually fairly open. The north half of the unit has some agriculture. Along the river there are large cottonwood trees with a thick understory.

The most economical way to hunt this area is to camp, driving distance to any town is significant. The nearest town is Malta. This town is a small ranching and agriculture town with some lodging options, along with a grocery store and restaurants. The town of Winifred is also near the district and provides some restaurants, fuel and lodging is minimal.
