This hunting district is found in north central Montana and is home to the breathtaking and famous Rocky Mountain Front. Here, much of the eastern half of the unit will be comprised of private agricultural lands, while the western half will be nearly all public, consisting of roadless and wilderness areas. There are some hunting opportunities in the lower country but this unit is going to cater largely to those seeking solitude and a backcountry experience.

This country is truly wild and untouched. Hunters will find the typical mix of open agricultural lands in the lower elevation on the eastern half, but everything completely changes when entering the Rocky Mountain Front. The lower elevations of this area will consist of rolling hills with sparse timber cover and large amounts of sage. Covering ground can be fairly easy here but elevation loss and gain from drainage to drainage can be large. As the elevation begins to climb, the tree cover will increase greatly, as will the steepness of the slopes. Knife ridges will begin to rise up sharply as they climb into alpine like slopes. Near the tops of prominent ridgelines and peaks, the tree cover will drop drastically as natural grasses and rock scree patches take over. Intermixed throughout the elevation range will be large meadows, rock fields, and avalanche chutes, all of which will form great bear habitat. Because this area is largely designated wilderness most of the backcountry will require a great deal of effort to reach unless using livestock. Physical conditioning will be greatly important. Hunters can find solitude and incredible hunting if they are willing to put in the effort.

As stated, much of the eastern half of this area will be composed of private lands that will require permission to access. Small sections of state and BLM lands can be found strewn throughout the private areas but most of these areas are not good bear habitat. Most the of the western half of the unit will consist of public lands and hunters will have the opportunity to hunt miles and miles of untouched wilderness. Access into this area will largely depend on your physical conditioning or access to livestock. Some lower areas can be hunted closer to roads along the tree line but most of the hunting opportunities will be found within the wilderness areas. Many maintained trails can be found throughout the wilderness allowing for easy navigation.

Throughout much of the low lying country you will see the typical array of sage, native grasses, patches of juniper, and rock. This area can be very deceiving when glassing due to the many deep cut drainages that break up the landscape. Here, you can glass for miles but animals can very easily hide out of view within a few hundred yards. Once the elevation begins to climb, the tree cover will increase immensely. Here, a variety of fir, spruce, and pine trees will be found in mature stands. Once the elevation has began to reach the highest areas, the tree cover will quickly be replaced with large boulder fields, native grasses, and patches of subalpine fir. Glassing opportunities will be excellent in these higher elevations, though much of the visible land may not be suitable habitat due to the amount of rock.

Modern lodging options can be found in Choteau, Fairfield, and Great Falls. These towns are fairly spread out across the unit and should give hunters good central locations for base camps. Primitive camping is allowed on public lands for up to 14 days. Groceries and amenities can be found in any of these towns, with the best bet for sporting goods being found in Great Falls.
