This hunting district is found in west central Montana and covers an enormous tract of land. Located just north of Missoula, hunters will find plenty of options for accommodations as well as travel. A huge array of terrain will be encountered here with plenty of historic logging activity, which will provide access into some of the deepest corners of the district. Anyone looking to hunt this district will be pleased to find that there is a little something for everyone.
This area, like most of western Montana, has a high density of black bears and can provide a great chance at a mature bear.
