This hunting district is found in west central Montana along the Idaho and Montana border. The unit encompasses a large area and is mostly public land, giving ample amounts of opportunity to any hunter. Good glassing opportunities can be tough to come by here but some meadows and avalanche chutes can be found. Additionally, older timber cuts also provide some reprieve from the dense timber and vegetation.

A good population of wolves can be found in this area but the ruggedness and dense ground vegetation can make initially locating packs very difficult.

This area in general is fairly low in elevation, but the ridges rise and fall sharply from drainage to drainage; simply covering one air mile can take several hours at times. Off trail travel will result in steep climbs and a never ending battle with this vegetation but will be a necessary evil at times. Hunters can generally find some great access options by utilizing some of the many closed logging roads.

In the creek bottoms you can expect to find a typical arrangement of leafy plants and grasses along with cedar, yew, and various pines. In spots, the creek bottoms can become impossible to cross with huge patches of alder and willow. As the elevation climbs, the ground cover will remain largely the same, but hunters can expect to encounter more fir and lodgepole. The only real glassing opportunities will be found in old logging clear cuts. In a handful of higher elevation locations, hunters will find some alpine-like country complete with grass and subalpine fir though these will rarely exceed a few acres in size.

This district is heavy with publicly accessible lands and hunters will generally find very little trouble in locating huntable areas. Cross country travel can be tough at times due to the steepness of the terrain and density of ground cover but closed logging roads can provide some shortcuts, here.

Modern lodging options can be found in Thompson Falls and Trout Creek, as well as primitive camping opportunities scattered throughout the district. Grocery needs can also be met in these towns as well as Noxon although the best selection will be found in Thompson Falls. Sporting goods needs will need to be met prior to leaving for the hunt.
