At a Glance
This district lies in north central Montana along the Canadian border. Large tracts of private land make up most of the district, but a decent amount of public lands can be had. Most of the huntable lands are comprised of private lands participating in Montana's Block Management Program which can play a key role in success. While this district has little to offer for hunters seeking trophy elk, they can enjoy some great deer hunting opportunities.
While this region has been hit hard with EHD in recent years, hunters are still enjoying great deer hunting opportunities. A move by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks to halt antlerless deer harvests has started the rebuilding process to recover from the disease. While bull elk hunting is strictly limited to a permit system, hunters can still take antlerless elk on a general tag and will be something to consider.
Quick Tips
