This district is located in the northwest part of Montana nestled in next to the Sun River Game Preserve. The district is almost entirely public land making access to the hunting public excellent. Much of the district offers backcountry style hunting opportunities while day hunting is still popular near the main National Forest access roads. This area is popular for elk hunting and heavily outfitted, competition between DIY hunters and outfitters can be frustrating.

This district lies within one of the most legendary backcountry elk hunting areas in the West. The Bob Marshall Wilderness is often associated with wall tents, and pack trains loaded down with elk quarters. The Sun River Game Preserve makes up the western boundary of the district and often times elk from this area spill into the hunt district throughout the rut. There is also an annual winter migration of elk out of the game preserve and this district into the lower elevations to the east.
