Quick Tips
Use GPS with landowner status
District can be physically demanding
Rain and snow can make the rocky slopes very difficult to navigate
Try Fly- Fishing on Bitterroot River and tributaries
This district consists of a large portion of Bitterroot National Forest. It lies east of U.S. Highway 93 and the communities of Hamilton and Stevensville along the Sapphire Mountains providing thousands of acres of public access.
Lots of public land, no other tag holders and mature rams in the district makes this an exciting hunt. The ability to hunt during the breeding season increases your odds to harvest a mature ram. Enjoy the hunt of a lifetime.
