This hunting district is found in central Montana and is home to the famous Crazy Mountain Range. Most of the area is made up of private lands, but some great backcountry opportunities can be found in the Crazy Mountains on the west end of the district. Because of the small amounts of available public land here, many hunters may opt to head into surrounding areas, though there is still plenty of opportunity to find seclusion in the backcountry. The public lands here also see a large amount of recreational use.
Good bear hunting can be found here but the lack of public opportunities can sometimes send hunters into surrounding units.
