This hunting district is found in west central Montana along the border with Idaho. This district is extremely large and will offer hunters many different types of hunting opportunities. Vegetation will be very thick throughout most of the area with a majority of the hunting being conducted on closed roads, timber cuts, and some of the natural avalanche chutes along the southern boundary of the district. This hunt will be what you make it, hunters will find their experience parallel with the amount of work they are willing to put in.

Wolves can be found spread throughout this unit with opportunities being found in some of the highest elevations and down through low lying creek bottoms.

While this area does have the luxury of many logging roads, hunters will quickly find out that off road travel can be incredibly challenging. Alder and willow grow in extreme abundance and can make navigating some of the north slopes an impossible endeavor. Ridges rise steeply off of the Clark Fork River valley and can make access into some of the high country a very physically taxing activity. Wolves can be found along the many closed logging roads as well as timber cuts but hunters will also have the opportunity to head into the backcountry and have great opportunities as wolves in these areas.

For the most part, access into wolf country is fairly easy to come by in this district. Wolves are distributed throughout the district and can be found from the valley floor to the high country. The high country areas will require a higher level of physical commitment and overnight hunting will become the best option. The hunting district is composed almost entirely of public lands giving hunters the freedom to roam.

This area is home to an extremely large array of vegetation which provides excellent feed opportunities for bears, but it can cause glassing difficulties later in the spring. 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 also become impassable 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. Very little reprise from the constant ground cover will be found until reaching some of the highest elevations and periodic areas of alpine type county. Here you can expect to encounter subalpine fir, native grasses, and rock. In some of the wetter avalanche chutes, the ever present willow and alder will grow heavily. Most of the high elevation bowls will open up enough to provide some great glassing opportunities.

Hunters will find some modern lodging opportunities in the towns of St. Regis or Superior, but the easiest options will be found on the eastern end of the district in Missoula. Camping is permitted on public lands for up to 14 days and can be a great way to really experience the area. Groceries and other amenities can be found in nearly every town with most of the sporting goods in Missoula.
