At a Glance
This district is found in central Montana along the shores of Canyon Ferry Reservoir. This is a very dynamic district offering a hunting experience for nearly every hunter out there. With high animal populations, good access and a decent amount of public land, hunters are sure to find a great hunting experience.
While this district doesn't have a lot to offer in the way of trophy potential, it does bring a lot to the table in the way of opportunities. Hunters will enjoy great mule deer hunting with there always being a potential of finding a true giant in some of the lonely reaches of the highest elevations. The whitetail, predominantly found on private lands, have been doing great the last few years with large percentages of the annual harvest being comprised of mature deer. While the average elk taken in this district will never make it past about three years of age the opportunities will be better than in surrounding districts.
Quick Tips
- Hunters looking to escape the crowds should focus their efforts in the roadless area in the northern section of the district
