At a Glance
Located just east of Missoula this district covers the western side of the Garnet Mountains. With only 3 licenses offered, excellent access on both public and Nature Conservancy lands, and sitting as close as it does to Missoula, the drawing odds for this district are very low but the quality and quantity of moose nearly justifies the draw odds. During deer and elk seasons hunting pressure will be significant but hunters likely won't have a moose tag in their pocket and will commonly pass along moose sighting information to someone holding the tag.
This district produces great bulls for those holding the permit . Historically some amazing bulls have been taken though accessing some of the roadless areas is generally the key to tagging a bigger bull. Book caliber bulls are available though many hunters have hunted this district hard and weren't able to find a 40 inch wide bull.
Quick Tips
- The district has potential for a big bull though ensure your ability to get the moose out as many areas are non-motorized only
- The district receives significant pressure for deer and elk seasons so hunting pressure can be significant even though only a few moose licenses are available
