At a Glance
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. Black bears will be found in abundance here, along with a growing grizzly population. 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 work they are willing to put in.
This area, like most of western Montana, has a high density of black bears and can provide a great chance at a mature bear.
