This massive district is found in west central Montana and lies just north of the town Butte, and south of the state capital, Helena. Hunters will find a wide array of terrain and vegetation types here, along with a stable population of black bears. There are plenty of roads to provide good access into bear habitat, as well as miles of national forest, free of roads and competition for those willing to hike.

Like most of western Montana, hunters can expect to come to this area with a decent shot at bears in the 5’ and up range.
