This hunting district is found in the historical Bitterroot River Valley of western Montana and houses some of the Bitterroot-Selway Wilderness Complex. Wolves are spread throughout the area but the biggest obstacle for most hunters is going to be the sheer size of the country. The west side of the unit is largely roadless and extremely rugged country wheres the eastern half of the area provides far more access options and, generally, higher game densities.

The western half of the unit is largely designated Wilderness but generally has lower population densities than what is found on the eastern half of the district.

On the northern and eastern portions of the unit hunters will find the most access options with a healthy supply of logging roads and public lands. The eastern edge of the unit is composed largely of the Bitterroot-Selway Wilderness Complex you can expect things to get much more physically demanding. Here, deep-cut valleys will run in a west to east direction, with ridges rising steeply from the valley floor, sometimes over several thousand feet, and topping out in craggy rock cliffs that will generally prove impassible.

The majority of this unit is public land, including a large portion of wilderness land. Hunters will have little to no problem finding ground to hunt; the biggest issue will be actually accessing some of the more prime looking spots. When hunting the wilderness areas, using the trails will be your best bet. From here you will have access into the many finger drainages where other hunters seldom visit.

Vegetation will be found in great abundance here and will give hunters just about everything western Montana has to offer. In the low lying creek bottoms expect of find ponderosa, willow, alder, and fir, and occasional cedar or yew trees. As elevations increase, some of the leafy trees will dissipate as pines, firs, and lodgepole take over. Rock cliffs will be very prevalent in most of these high elevation areas. At times, the undergrowth around creek bottoms can be nearly impossible to navigate and can mentally exhaust a person within a matter of hours. When planning for cross country travel it is important to carefully examine these areas and to plan a route in order to avoid as much brush as possible.

Modern lodging options can be found in Missoula, Lolo, and Hamilton. Groceries can be found in those towns, along with Florence, Stevensville, and Victor. Sporting good needs can be met in either Missoula, on the north end of the hunting district, or in Hamilton to the south.
